The Crossings at Carlsbad

International Singer, Pianist, Showman Marcel East is among the top echelon of performers in San Diego with a colorful career from singing with Mrs. Barbra Streisand & appearances on American Idol, to backing The Tonight Show’s legendary host Jay Leno & composing arrangements for Michael Jackson’s anniversary album. Marcel started his passion for music while watching his uncle, and bass legend, Nathan East perform with artists like Phil Collins, Stevie Wonder, Toto, and Eric Clapton. Fresh out of school, Marcel went on a nationwide tour playing keys for Motown band The Steppen Stonz. This is where he first got his taste of the world and stage life. This seasoned band was action packed, and the perfect start to launch Marcel's performing career. Along the way, Marcel’s talents were recognized by Disney and he was offered a position at Disneyland CA. He enjoyed playing keys at the magic kingdom then quickly set his sights internationally to become one of the headlining acts in Russia, China, France, Qatar, Mexico, Canada, and Maldives (where he was featured on The Travel Channel & National Geographic). You can currently enjoy shows at his residency at Aria Casino and Resort, a lavish, ultra-modern resort in the heart of the Las Vegas strip where he performs all of today’s hit songs. He can also be spotted regularly at Mandalay Bay where he performs with Emmy-winning recording artist Patrick Sieben & the LVB. When the Vegas artist isn’t on his main stages, he can be found entertaining at beachside weddings in San Diego, or corporate events in Hawaii & Miami with companies like Amazon, HP, and Miller.

Hi there! I'm Evan Diamond, a singer-songwriter based in San Diego. I play as a solo artist but I also play shows as a duo with my friend John Rankin (another GigTown Artist!) and also play venues with my amazing backing band, The Library. We recently played The Mint in LA and have upcoming shows at The Hotel Cafe and The Viper Room. I tour extensively throughout Southern California with gigs in San Diego, Riverside and LA County, averaging between 15 to 20 shows a month! My music spans a number of genres, most notably rock, pop and r&b which definitely makes my songs unique, and in addition to writing my own music, I also play a large number of covers from artists such The Beatles, Carole King, David Bowie, The Spice Girls, Fifth Harmony, Ed Sheeran, Christina Aguilera, Amy Whinehouse and The 1975. You can find a full list of my cover songs on my website epk page: evandiamondmusic.com/epk but keep in mind that list is always growing! One of the things I feature in my shows is my use of live looping! Check out my website, for video and audio examples of my work! My band and I are currently working on our first EP which will be available shortly! Donations are greatly appreciated and are accepted both through GigTown and my website. I play private parties, weddings, fundraisers and more so I hope you will consider me for your next event! Below is a partial list of venues I've performed at recently.

I'm a guitarist/singer/performer specializing in everything from Top 40s pop hits to old school classic rock and oldies I grew up on old school blues/funk and jazz which I incorporate when playing pop music to give a little flavor to the songs. I use a loop pedal for backing tracks when paying lead to give a fuller sound. Some my influences are ; Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, Santana, Hendrix, Bob Marley, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Ed Sheeran to name a few. If you are looking for some good music with classic influences, consider me for your event. You won't be disappointed.
