Marc Roe has been performing for more than 30 years. He began his music career playing guitar and singing in heavy metal bands, touring, and writing music. His band 12 Days Silent drew national attention, opening for many major label artists and receiving recognition in music publications such as Hollywood Music Magazine. After stepping away from the heavy metal scene, Marc traded in the electric guitar for an acoustic and began playing crowd favorites while mixing in original music here and there. He has performed across the United States, large audiences and small.
