Hi Kenny,
 
We sincerely appreciate you downloading the four songs from musicSUBMIT, and we absolutely give you permission to promote our music worldwide! Thank you so much!
 
Our music is available at Amazon, and we encourage you to download more from them, or I will be happy to send you other songs from the CD. And, you can hear more at http://www.marcyrequist.com
 
If you are a fan of classic rock, I think you will recognize many of the bands the musicians on our album have been members of. They are playing a bit "differently" on this album, and that has been of HUGE interest to our listeners. (Imagine the saxophonist for Don Henley and U2 playing "Baby Mine"!) It's pretty unique stuff, and has been really well received. We are so grateful!
 
Please let me know if there is anything else you need. Many thanks!!!!

 
Thank you for your interest in our music!

Our CD (Covers of Comfort) is a   12-song collection of adult contemporary/inspirational covers produced and mixed by Ron Wikso, and arranged by Grammy-nominatedWally Minko.

The CD's eclectic song list features everything from a Leonard Cohenclassic (Hallelujah), to a beloved gospel great (Just A Closer Walk with Thee) that is paired beautifully with The Beatles' Let It Be.

Who is Marcy Requist?

Marcy is (in some ways) an “accidental recording artist”, because she never expected her personal go-to “rainy-day” playlist would provide the material for a CD. Singing since she can remember, music has always been a type of “therapy” for her; but she didn’t know others would be moved by her singing these songs until she met Ron Wikso. They never really set out to record a CD, but there was obviously something bigger at work here than just the two of them.
Now their story, and how they are using music as a “soft place to land” for others going through tough times (as well as using their CD to raise money for charities) has created something undeniably unique.
Marcy is grateful to the amazing musicians who perform on Covers of Comfort

 

Ron Wikso – producer, mixer, drums, percussion (Cher, The Gregg Rolie Band, Foreigner, Richie Sambora, Player, Creedence Clearwater)
Wally Minko – arranger, piano, synths (Pink, Toni Braxton, The Gregg Rolie Band, Tom Jones, Arturo Sandoval, Jon Anderson, Jon Luc Ponty)
Kurt Griffey - guitars (Creedence Clearwater, The Gregg Rolie Band,Randy Meisner, Spencer Davis Group)
Matt Bissonette – bass guitars (Elton John, Ringo Starr, Rick Springfield, Boz Scaggs, ELO)
Bihn Park – cello (Philadelphia Orchestra, National Youth Orchestra (NYO) of the United States of America at Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center at Washington D.C.)
Tom Evans – tenor sax (Eagles, U2, Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Rod Stewart, Ricky Lee Jones, Carly Simon)
In all seriousness, Marcy and Ron are truly touched by the many people who have told them their music is a “soothing comfort” for whatever is troubling them in their life.
You can hear samples of other songs on the CD (plus their two new holiday songs), a little bit about the musicians, “behind the song” stories, and even find a “comfort food” recipe by visiting:
