Based in Richmond, Virginia, Marcus Tenney (“Tennishu”) has been producing, recording and performing music all over the world for the last two decades. Known for being equally proficient on trumpet and saxophone, Tennishu is also a lyricist and a rapper with an extensive catalog of self-released recordings. Whether in the studio hammering out his next solo project or touring the city streets with the progressive powerhouse known as Butcher Brown, Tennishu delivers a potent and consistent experience no matter what he puts into the microphone.
His latest release, DrumTapes, uses the drum set as the centerpiece for creation. This project was inspired by the great drummers Tennishu has worked with over the years and represents the commitment to sit down and learn how to speak the language of the drum.
