Marcus Rezak's Shred Is Dead

Marcus Rezak's Shred Is Dead Live at Groove | Sunday, May 25th | 6PM Doors, 7PM Show

Marcus Rezak is not a hard man to find. Playing over 200 shows a year, he crisscrosses the country with a wide variety of projects including his high-octane Grateful Dead tribute Shred is Dead, his new ’90s Phish homage Gumbo, the Zappa Experience project with Frank’s former guitarist Ike Willis, his eponymous solo band, and more. On his new album, Guitar Head, out now, Marcus Rezak distills his incendiary live experience down to compact studio compositions featuring members of Trey Anastasio Band, Little Feat, Twiddle, and Kung Fu.

Rezak’s third album and second full length, Guitar Head pays tributes to the omnipresent shredder’s native Chicago and the legends he grew up admiring like Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf. Of course, this is the blues Marcus’ way, so he carves out plenty of avenues for explorative improvisation in the intense originals.

Joining Rezak on the album is a roster of musicians equally as prolific in the live music circuit as he is. Forming the bedrock rhythmic foundation are Twiddle/Kung Fu drummer Adrian Tramontano and Kung Fu bassist Chris DeAngelis along with veteran Trey Anastasio Band keyboardist Ray Paczkowski and Little Feat saxophonist Erik Lawrence. Guiding the album alongside Rezak is Grammy-winning producer Paul Nelson, who approached Rezak about producing his next album after one of Marcus’ myriad dazzling live shows.

“Marcus is a force to be reckoned with,” Nelson said. “A born guitarist, songwriter, and vocalist, it was a real pleasure to produce his latest album which I feel showcases his diversity and amazing talent.”
