The following year, he traveled to Colorado to perform as a finalist in the 2023 Telluride Blues Challenge, which he would go on to win.Marcus Trummer's debut album, From The Start, draws inspiration from the timeless sounds of the 60s and 70s. With his warm and emotive vocals, Trummer pays respect to classic soul singers like Bill Withers and Al Green.
