From Primed for Sound Editor:
Sought after studio session drummer John Marque skills on the kit keep him busy providing drum tracks in the studio for artists ranging in genre from country and jazz to rock and alternative. Recently, Marque got behind the drum set at Primary Sound Studios in Bloomington to arrange the beats and play on Indianapolis singer/songwriter Scott McClelland’s new album.
When top area artists need a drummer, Marque is routinely the go to guy to get the job done, providing both arrangement and the skillful playing necessary to produce a professionally sounding record. At PSS alone, he has played on tracks and albums by Cari Ray, Bill Headley, Ryan Beck, Carrie Pietz, Jess Kendall and Matt Epp.
Marque holds a master’s degree in Jazz studies from the prestigious Jacobs School of Music - IU and is a high school percussion director. He also is a jazz percussion composer and gets his licks laying down rock and pop beats for the Bishops, a national party band. He and the Bishops were the featured performers this past weekend at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s Brickyard 400 Miller Lite party deck.
