Producer, engineer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, with over 150 CD projects to his credit, Marc Moss, owner of Target Studios, is one of the most respected producers in the Mid-Atlantic region. Born in Clarksburg, West Virginia, Marc has always made music his livelihood, both as a performer and as owner and founder of Target Studios.
From 1980 to 1986, Marc was a member of Bad Sneakers, a popular Newark area band that regularly performed up and down the east coast and released three albums. He opened Target Studios in 1986 while continuing to write, record and perform his own music. In 1992, Marc released his own critically acclaimed CD, Marc Moss and the Art Farm. Stereo Review called the CD “intelligent, extremely well-crafted, and addictively tuneful.” Marc spent the next several years performing solo at such venues as The Bitter End in New York City, The Tin Angel in Philadelphia and The Bluebird Café in Nashville.
He has also performed at BMI’s Acoustic Round-up in New York City, the Philadelphia Music Conference and the SXSW Music Conference in Austin. Listen to Nothing’s Perfect by Marc Moss. After working together on various solo projects over the years, Silent Planet artists Steve Black and David Meredith began writing and recording songs with Marc in 2001.
The result of this collaboration was a new area band, Black/Moss/Meredith and their album WORLD OF WONDER. From the church steeples of Eastern Europe in “Ring the Bells” to the swamps of “Blacksnake Road”, from the jangly guitar pop of “Laura Jane” to the pounding pulse of “Widow’s Web”, WORLD OF WONDER takes the listener on a diverse musical journey of the soul.
