CHRIS KIRBY & THE MARQUEE CELEBRATE 10TH ANNIVERSARY!


10 Years of CK&M

I can't believe it's been 10 years already. 3 Studio albums, 1 live album, and countless road stories. I'm so proud to say I've spent these years playing music with Craig Follett, Mark Marshall, and Chad Murphy, and even more proud to say we ain't done yet!

Come celebrate 10 years of funky East Coast R&B with us at the Fat Cat, on Saturday, June 13. We have some special guests lined up that we'll tell you about later ;) Keep an eye on the facebook event!

Also, don't forget our annual CANADA DAY Family Concert with
Billy & the Bruisers. Canada Day, at the George Street Festival outdoor stage in St. John's, NL. Bring the kids! More to come on this soon.

See you out there!
