Born and raised on the shores of Lake 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 the sun, the moon, the mountains & seas, Irish, Scottish, English, Dutch, & American folk music, maritime music, jam-rock, reggae, & jazz.

Maureen Reich’s parents immigrated from County Mayo, Ireland, and met in Cleveland's Irish American Club. “For as long as I can remember, Ireland was Home. Step dancing wasn't a possibility, but my parents handed me a violin and sent me to Tom McCaffrey for Irish fiddle lessons. It took me a couple of decades before I pulled that fiddle out along with Tom's books, and realized this music is a part of the fabric of my life, and I can't be without it.”
