Marc will be joined by his nephew Ryan Lee, an up-and-coming jazz guitarist and bassist based in Richmond. Ryan has performed at venues such as the Charlottesville Pavilion, the Southern, the Paramount Theater, and the Broadberry, as well as many clubs in Virginia and Washington, D.C. He is a member of Gina Sobel and the Mighty Fine, which the Boulder Beat described as a band that feels like a midsummer celebration. As a member of the Mighty Fine, he has toured the east coast and recorded a full-length studio album, Burn Off the Dust,which upstreamad.com named as the number two album of 2014. Ryan studied jazz and classical guitar at Virginia Commonwealth University.

Marc has performed at An Die Musik for many years as soloist, accompanist, and conductor. He is very pleased to be returning tonight.
