                                                                  Mac DeMarco
     With a mellow synth keyboard at his side and a trademark gap-tooth smile, Mac DeMarco appeals to an intergenerational crowd.
     According to undertheradar.com, his latest album Another One was a record that he described as his recovery from the "party tour style," so he could be back to making music again. In order to make this album, he spent a month in his room in total solitude. In doing this, he came up with the idea of providing his address in a song to connect with fans. He forgot that hundreds if not thousands of fans would listen, at one point he recalled having 50 fans visit him and his band a day.
      It's hard to believe, but he wasn't always at the peak of indie-rock stardom. Right out of high school, he took on the strenuous profession of roadwork but eventually called it quits. He realized he needed to have muscle to continue on with this kind of labor. In moving to Montreal, his stint as a labor worker would soon be replaced with a devotion to art and music.
      Fans rejoice, as he is on tour for his latest album. His next concert in New York is on May 15, 2016, and will be at Webster Hall.
