Described as a one-man improvised meltdown, Rebillet is a classically trained pianist who’s shows are anything but traditional. Armed with a keyboard, loop machine, boxers and the occasional bath robe, Marc’s off-the-cuff style refuses to be bound by conventions, often times jumping from topic to topic and genre to genre, creating an artistic, yet unhinged musical experience in where no two shows are the same. Marc’s upcoming set of shows will also make history as the first-ever residency for both Brooklyn Bowl and Marc himself.

After years of touring bluegrass festivals throughout the states, the band eventually found themselves among some of the scene’s biggest names, earning multiple chart-topping positions and awards.
