Mad Mad Marcae sings with conviction. His vocal performance has been described as a combination of a soul, rhythm & blues singer along with the confidence and smooth delivery of today's pop artists. He sites some of his influences as Blood Sweat & Tears, B.B. King, Joe Cocker, James Brown and The Rolling Stones. At home singing passionate blues songs as well as romantic ballads with soul, Mad Mad Marcae calls his style of music Mad Blues "…a compilation of true soulful low down and dirty Blues with a tasty urban twist".

Marcae Taurus - better known as Mad Mad Marcae - has re-invented today's blues with the big band feel of the 70's. His current project - Mad Mad Marcae & his Lost Roll of Pennies Blues Band - has made a large impact in Big Bear Lake, California, where he resides with his family. He was born April 24, 1958 in Tacoma, Washington, and started his singing career around age five, singing gospel music with his brothers and sisters (there are 9 of them) at KYAC in Tacoma, Washington. In his young adult life, he continued to involve his passion for performing by joining jazz choir, musical theater and playing in various local bands as a lead vocalist and at times as a drummer.

In 1984, he drove his VW Bug to Los Angeles, CA, to pursue his music career. Los Angeles was where every musician needed to go, and supported a large musical community where every style music could be found. Mad Mad stayed in his bug, joined a gym to have access to a shower and hit Hollywood. He continued performing in a variety of music genre's… classic rock, funk, dance, R&B and rock, but found that Blues was the best style for him.

Mad Mad Marcae is as passionate about his family as he is about his musical ambitions. He met his wife, "G" in 1990 and they have been inseperable ever since. They share two beautiful children together and work together on Mad Mad's music career. Along with music and the kids, Mad Mad's interests include football, fishing and playing Texas Hold 'em. Of course, God is at the very top of that list!

He currently resides in beautiful Big Bear Lake, California; where you can find him playing at various local clubs gigging with his Lost Roll of Pennies Blues Band. He has found many fans in Southern California as he performs both as a solo artist, and with a full band.
