Indie acoustic-rocker Marc Gelinas will be promoting his first CD at Cunnigham’s Pub in Ste. Anne de Bellevue this Sunday night.
Gelinas, a West Islander, released his 12-track CD
‘Waiting at the Red Lights’ this summer. Key tracks include ‘Smolder
Me’ and ‘Call Me Vegas,’ the latter inspired by friends who named their
baby Vegas.
‘Call Me Vegas’ has become fan favourite, Gelinas said, adding
it explores how a person’s fate may be influenced by what their name
is. He describes his music as acoustic rock-pop and his influences
range from Paul Simon to Led Zeppelin.
“It’s very competitive out there and very hard with no record
label backing,” Gelinas acknowledged, but added being an indie artist
has its benefits.

As the rumbling of thunder sounded in the distance, and as the impending storms threatened, Marc Gelinas, my wife and I sat on the grass in the back yard. He pulled out his guitar and played a new song for us. He had just written it while being away from home on a photo shoot for his new CD, while missing his wife.
Like usual, we were blown away.
