“Music is Life.  I breathe it, I love it, and I believe I am on this good earth to bring the joys of the art to as many people as humanly possible.” These are the words of Marko Gazic when asked what he thought about music. Marko began his professional career as an entertainer playing rhythm guitar for the swing band The Cangelosi Cards and lead guitar for the pop band Emergency Service in 2005, although he began performing on the piano in front of audiences at the age of 6. Since his early 20s, he has toured around the United States and Canada with many different acts playing many different instruments and styles of music. Marko currently leads the band Sly Blue, who recently completed a month-long summer tour in Europe. This band continues to astound its audiences, and their popularity continues to skyrocket. Their music is available on Itunes and CDbaby.com. When not touring, Marko splits time performing in New York City and New Orleans playing swing jazz, traditional American Country, Bluegrass, and original music. His original work is stylistically inspired by Mississippi John Hurt, Chris Smither, and Townes Van Zandt.
