Music on Pearl is excited to host an afternoon concert with local singer/songwriter
favorite Marques Morel and friend Simon Cropp on Saturday, March 21st at 2pm. The
show will be held in the “acoustically wonderful” sanctuary of the historic UU Church of Stockton at 219 North Pearl. Tickets are $15 and are available at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/marques-morel-with-simon-cropp, or at the door.

Marques, with five CDs to his name, is well known in the area – but rarely does an
audience have an opportunity to see him on stage where they can really immerse
themselves in his music, connecting with his lyrics and energy.

Originally from Illinois corn country, he has performed just about anywhere that anyone
would listen: big city street corners around the world, county fairs, folk festivals, hole in
the wall taverns, theaters and campfires.
His voice has been described as reminiscent of country outlaws, like Johnny Cash and
Waylon Jennings, low with lots of vibrato. One reviewer said of his voice that it’s “like
country singers that are actually from the country”.

Simon Cropp is newer to recording and recently released his first CD. Also a Midwest
native, his songwriting has drawn comparisons to his biggest inspiration, John Prine. Simon appreciates those everyday stories that make lives meaningful. We are excited to hear him perform.

There is plenty of street parking for the show and the venue is wheelchair accessible.
Snacks and drinks will be available for donation.
