Serenity (Feat. Anita Jackson & Dawn Weber) Now Available=First Single From "Saint Unity"
<p>The first single from my new record is very special to me. It features two of my favorite artists from the STL music scene: Anita Jackson & Dawn Weber. Anita is a master of story telling and embodies the emotion of the narrative of her soul songs. She has been known to blow the roof off of the finest venues in STL and sports one of the most charismatic live shows you will ever witness. Dawn Weber is a highly prolific artist/song writer/producer and sets the pace for what's possible in creativity, production and straight up hustling. In addition to being one of the most sought after entertainers in MO, she leads The Naked Rock Fight, a kick your teeth in funk band that takes no prisoners, The Electro Funk Assembly, an EDM trio featuring the fusion of live production with live instruments. If that's not enough, she serves up jazz in a cool hybrid swing/funk band appropriately called "Swunk". </p>

Behind The Scenes Look at Ryan Marquez's New Single "Serenity" feat. Anita Jackson and Dawn Weber
<p>The team was out in full force in the name of "Saint Unity" on a beautiful spring day at the Missouri Botanical Gardens. Lenny Mink, Kurtis Gibbs and the Lotown Crew captured magic with Anita Jackson for our new single "Serenity", due out on April 30th, 2021. We also had some guests on set with us in Eric Luther Ingram, Phil "Fish" Fisher (of Fishbone) and we bumped into Ahsati Nu. The day was filled with lots of love, laughter and attention from the folks wondering what the heck we were doing!! haha Anita and I always have great convos whenever we are together. She is such a wise soul and we speak the same spiritual language!</p>

Ryan Marquez's Recap of Wed Open Air Jazz Jam Hosted by Bob Deboo with Kaleb Kirby & Josiah Burton
<p>I got a chance to play the first jazz jam at the Open Air/Grandel/Dark Room sponsored by The Kranzberg Arts Foundation with Bob Deboo (Bass), Kaleb Kirby (Drums) and Josiah Burton (trumpet). It was a great time with lots of familiar and new faces coming out to sit in/play and support/listen. This is a little glimpse of how the first night back went and what to expect at jazz jams in the future!</p>
