“I have had the pleasure of working with Marc for the last 8 months in my group, “Brass Transit” (The Musical Legacy Of Chicago, Tribute Act). He is very professional on all levels and has demonstrated his work ethic over and over. He does his homework and, along with his abundent natural talent and years of experience, he also brings to the table and easy going fit with other musicians, a must in this business. I highly recommend Marc for any guitar chair!”

- Tony Carlucci, Brass Transit, Leader


"I've been privileged to work with many pro musicians over the years, and none stand out any more than my guitarist Marc Ganetakos. In so many situations, from studio to small intimate clubs to stages with audiences in the tens of thousands, Marc always lays down the gauntlet when it comes to guitar playing.

Many, many instrumentalists have had Marc support them. But as a fiddler, and one who plays a type of music that requires as much listening as technical & charted arrangements, Marc has never let me down.

Always willing to go the extra mile…literally around the world.. I would recommend Marc as a go-to guy for any type of music performance and production job."

- Ashley MacIsaac, Platinum Selling Celtic Fusion/Folk/Rock Recording Artist


"I've been hiring Marc Ganetakos to play in my productions since 2008.

Regardless if he is playing guitar, dobro, mandolin or banjo, I know I can always count on Marc to serve the music while playing an important role in each show."


- Rob Asselstine, President, RGAMedia Inc. / RGAMusic Inc.

"I love your dobro playing! And the banjo track you sent me is pure genius!"

- Greig Nori, Producer for Multi-Platinum Selling & Grammy Nominated Sum 41


"I have worked with Marc on many projects over the years and I am always impressed with his work. Because of his experience in all styles of music, he is fun to collaborate with and can tailor all the instruments he plays to fit your specific needs. I would definitely recommend working with Marc!"

- Johnny Simmen, Producer/Songwriter, Nashville Tennessee


Marc is a true multi-instrumentalist. I first hired him to play on some of my Country songs but as I've begun to write more Pop music, he's been able to offer a lot of cool ideas in that style too. He's super versatile. What makes Marc special is that he's really quick on his feet when it comes to collaborating and coming up with parts on the spot. He has a great sense of what the songs needs. This quality is also great for when I need tracks recorded remotely; his first pass at the song is usually on point, so I don't necessarily have to be in the room to get what I envisioned. Marc is very skilled but he also is very passionate about great music. He cares deeply about giving you the best he's got!

- Maddy Rodriguez, Singer/Songwriter, Recording Artist, Toronto/Nashville, Tennessee

Marc's knowledge and experience in the music performance and production industry allow him access to the best studios, technicians and musicians that helped turn my song ideas into great recorded music I am proud to release to the public!"

- Ken Edmunds, Singer/Songwriter, Recording Artist


Marc Ganetakos is the producer I've been looking for my entire career. He takes songs and brings them to their fullest potential, all the while respecting the artist's input and vision. Marc is crazy... crazy good at his job. And just when you think it can't get any better, he unleashes an arsenal of stringed things on your record that leaves you smiling and speechless. There is never a dull moment. Marc's enthusiasm and excitement for his craft is overwhelming and infectious. His talent and work ethic combined make him a much needed force in this industry."
