What People Are Saying

A glimpse of the buzz around my music and my performances:

“For me Marc’s music is like a warm blanket on a cold winter’s day; it comforts your heart & soul!” ~ Monique B., Minnesota

“Marc is a musician that transcends all genres if music. Whether you are a fan of jazz, rock, classical, etc. – Marc’s music is appealing to everyone’s listening taste. The song that I absolutely fell in live with was “This is My Home.” Marc’s lyrics to this song really DO hit home. So much so that the Holly Ball Creative Team and I wanted to incorporate it as a major part of our fundraiser for hospice. As a result (in my opinion) we were able to raise the most amount of money that Holly Ball has ever raised that year. Thank you Marc!!” ~ Sarah Liveringhouse, Co-Chair Holly Ball 2010

“Marc Vaillancourt’s talents and energy were evident when he helped to organize a musical group of children to perform at Hollyball 2010.  Marc met with the students several times to teach them the song he wrote called “This is My Home.”  The song was beautiful and had everyone in the room captivated!  Marc’s music reflects his superb talent for writing and performing!” ~ Nina Steil, Co-Chair Hollyball 2010

“Music is such a powerful tool for witness to the gospel. It touches people in ways that speak to the many experiences of life we all face. It brings hope out of sorrow at a funeral; joy and celebration at a church groundbreaking; awe and wonder during a morning worship service. In each of these ways and more, Marc has used this gift of God to bring life and witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ.” ~ Pastor Randy Freund, Faith Lutheran Church

“My challenge was to take two 60 year old events that had grown stale and breath new life into them. Marc’s musical ability to move a crowd and set the pace to a new level was a key component to helping me reach my vision for bringing these productions to what they are today. His ability to respect the past while moving in a new direction is something seldom experienced in today’s often tactless world of entertainment. The positive reaction of the crowd to his charming vocal, piano and stage presence talents reflect on the professionalism of the rest of the show. In fact, it is infectious.” ~ Jim Fahey, Master of Ceremonies (1998-2009), Hutchinson Jaycee Water Carnival Pageant & Coronation

“Until Tomorrow Comes” by Marc Vaillancourt is a heavenly soundscape sculpted by the transcendental sounds of angelic piano compositions. This primarily instrumental pop/easy-listening CD is genuine and pre-eminent in every way. Vaillancourt’s proclivity for conjuring up tunes that uplift, inspire, and connect with listeners on a personal level cannot be overstated. “Dispatches” resonates as a flagship, kicking off this album with energy and fervor. The anthemic ballad, “Child of God, Child of Mine,” is yet another standout track, complete with poetic inspirational lyrics delivered wonderfully in a resounding vocal performance. Moreover, “Soundtrack” illuminates a more serene side of Vaillancourt’s songwriting, flaunting a piano lead that is nothing less than a spiritual experience. Fans of inspirational and instrumental easy-listening tunes will delight in this refreshing, superbly produced collection.” ~ Xavier P. & The RadioIndy Reviewer Team

“Both of my daughters were married this year and Marc provided the music at both of their weddings. Having known Marc for several years, there was never a question that he would be involved in their music for these very special days. He met with each of them separately to tailor music that fit their individual personalities. He listened to their wishes, gave suggestions when needed, and helped them create an unforgettable ceremony. In one instance he even offered to learn the music being performed by others (as a backup in the event they couldn’t travel here for the wedding). On a scale of 5 stars, Marc receives 10 from me!” ~ Laurie Gelschus, mother-of-the-bride
