They have also had a monthly performance residency at The Blues Can in Calgary since September 2018. Marcus has had the opportunity to support several established artists as well, including opening for Juno Award winners MonkeyJunk, and Jim Byrnes.   This summer Marcus was honored with the Calgary Blues Fest’s Randy Ouston Scholarship and also the Zackariah and the Prophets Emerging Artist Award at the YYC Music Awards.
