Marcus Jade
May 27, 2021
Marcus Jade is not your typical blues artist. Though his music draws from the classic delta blues of the 1930s, Jade’s songs speak about important present-day issues like gentrification, police brutality, and the economic crisis brought on by the Coronavirus. Jade is currently based in Brooklyn, New York - but his music is deeply rooted in the Westside Indianapolis neighborhoods where he grew up.
