A San Diego songwriter, guitarist, and surfer, with backgrounds in Rock, Surf, Reggae, Jazz, and World Music, Marklyn Retzer blends these experiences into a sonic travelog of lyrical bliss, easy grooves and guitar based soundscapes, creating acoustic based, groove pop rock music, with catchy hooks, and lush, transcendent lyrics. In concert, Marklyn dives in to the music to connect with listeners, creating a heart-felt community experience. Marklyn's music is a good fit for listeners of Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, and Tom Petty. Tutu, the latest single in a year long project of semi-monthly releases, shines out with sparkly, optimistic playfulness. It’s a grooving, pop-rock reminder to have fun, live life, and shine your light anywhere you choose.
