Tomball, Texas native Marcus Eldridge is one of the most unique talents in Texas Music: a guitar player's guitar player with a wild & free-flowing mixture of south-Texas twang, blues, ranchero sauce, beef ribs, and Houston July icehouse jukebox. He sings like an angel who loves every honky-tonk minute he lives. To his band mates in the Mystiqueros, he is the spark, known as "party in a box" and "crazy Uncle Mertis." And to more young Texas artists every night, he is a performer to look up to, be moved by and learn from. W.W.
