Marc October

Like most of the neighborhood kids of his time, Marc started playing guitar after hearing “Stairway to Heaven” for the first time (!), but it wasn’t until he reached his twenties that he really learned how to craft songs of his own… in French at the time. His first success as a songwriter was a melancholy ballad called “Les Berges” which was sung by folksinger Pauline Julien at La Place des Arts of Montreal right after Marc sang it himself at Le Festival de la Chanson de Granby, a well known musical contest here in Quebec. From then on, his path was sealed.

Switching to English in the nineties, he formed the alternative rock band Prester John, soon followed by The Graduates, and wrote some of his most memorable songs for those formations, including “Rainy Smile” and “Too Good to be True”, little gems he would later include on Infinite-Lane Highway’s first album.

In 2007, Marc created a virtual one man band (Infinite-Lane Highway) that still allows him to write what he likes most: good pop/rock songs reminiscent of the Sixties and the Seventies. “The Long Dark Road” is Infinite-Lane Highway’s second album.
