Q+A with NewSong Finalist Marcus Fetch

Marcus Fetch’s songs are heartfelt and raw, with lyrics that paint unique life experiences. Red House is a coming-of-age album that squeezes every last drop of angst out of one’s late twenties. Breaking away from friends and the party scene, soul searching through late nights, house parties, and wild road trips. Fetch unleashes this powerful musical performance writing and recording almost the entire album himself.

Marcus will join seven other finalists to network and compete at the NewSong Performance & Songwriting Competition finals on Saturday, January 11, at Citizen Vinyl. Find tickets here.

NewSong Music: What sort of music was playing in your house when you were growing up?

Marcus: Outside of my father’s love for the Beatles, my older sister blew my mind with alternative rock music as a kid. 

What inspired you to become a songwriter?

I learned how to express my emotions through writing songs as a young teen and never stopped. 

If you could partner with another living songwriter to co-write a song, who would it be? 

That’s a tough one! Would have to be Bob Dylan.

What attracted you to submit your song(s) to the NewSong Competition? 

Just wanted to put myself out there. 

Do you have any recent or forthcoming projects to tell us about? 

I’ve written a few beat poems to slow jazz piano lately. Inspired by Kerouc.
