"Black Violin works hard, but makes it all look like play...Sometimes they play with the intense seriousness of orchestral soloists; at others they fiddle as if at a hoedown; at still others they strum the violin and viola like guitars."" - The New York Times
Join us for an evening with one of the hottest bands at Bonnaroo and the South by Southwest musical festivals. Kev Marcus and Will B create a unique blend of classical, hip-hop, rock, R&B, and bluegrass music.
Florida natives, the two classically trained string instrumentalists have been playing together for over a decade. Their innovative collaboration has enabled them to play for members of the military abroad, at both the official President’s Inaugural Ball and the Kids Inaugural in Washington, D.C. They have gone on to perform with some of the industry’s biggest names, including Alicia Keys and Linkin Park. Additionally, they have performed on the Wendy Williams Show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. As writers they have worked with acclaimed artists like P. Diddy, Kanye West, Aerosmith, 50 cent, Tom Petty, Aretha Franklin, and The Eagles.
According to Kev Marcus, the goal of their music has always been, “to engage audiences to look at things from a different perspective.” The two meld hip-hop, classical and pop music into an unparalleled unification of styles, all the while presenting captivating music with a poignant message for all audiences.
