“Born and raised on shores of Erie, singer/songwriter/guitarist Marcus Dirk has grown up with a variety of music, musicians and surroundings to shape his songwriting along the way. His original music is influenced by Irish, English & American folk music, maritime music, jam-rock, reggae, & jazz. Songs that are sometimes historical in subject, sometimes haunting, or sometimes just simple tales of love lost & found.” — Marcus Dirk & Cuyuga
