The Jipsees

Reverend Marcus Malone vocals-guitar-piano
For 12 years now The Reverend has been building a reputation for his unique take on Americana Music. Rev Marco to his fans and friends resides in the eclectic suburb of East Nashville. This area of town prides itself as a tight knit group of people made up of mostly artists and musicians and The Rev is proud to be considered an intricate part of this community which includes some of the best singer songwriters in the world including the likes of Mr. Todd Snyder , Will Hoge and the infamous Bobby Bare Jr..
For ten years Marco wrote the songs and performed with a group called "A Stump Full Of Grandaddies" a slightly irreverent group of fellows who were instrumental in stirring up the complacent, stale country music that was being performed on Lower Broadway back in the mid nineties. Lower Broadway is famous for its hardcore traditional country music and its honky tonks including the world famous Tootsies Orchid Lounge, and it didn't take long for the reverend along with the grandaddies to become a regular draw for the locals and college kids alike. They would hit the stage hard like a rockabilly train wreck, spewing an infectious brand of music that soon caught the eye of country music icons and several major record labels, including Sony Records. Don't let the fact Rev Malone is an ordained minister fool you into thinking he is mild mannered, he is most definitely the opposite often compared to an obnoxious street preacher whos spiritually appointed mission lies not within the masses, but to the few within ear shot, in hopes of touching one single soul. When taking the stage his music and message is often unpredictable, an exciting mix of intricate musical arrangements combined with sincere and thought provoking lyrics. He has been called the next" John Prine" primarily because of the honesty and integrity that makes up the foundation of his music. In this day and age, as we see the gaps between musical genres grow smaller and smaller, this guy has the potential to fill them all.
