An FCC licensed radio engineer at the age of 18, Marco Vig has hosted shows on WHRW – Binghamton, New York; Subcity Radio – Glasgow, Scotland; and made guest appearances at clubs and radio stations across the country.
As a fundraiser for over 15 years, Marco visited one-on-one with donors across the country, with regular visits to California, Florida, New York, and Texas. He was the face of Rutgers University on the West Coast and held similar roles with national environmental and humanitarian groups.
A West Point dropout and state school graduate, he has hiked all 2,190 miles of the Appalachian Trail, restored a 1750’s homestead where he lives with his family, and has lived in New Orleans, Southern Appalachia, the Pacific Northwest, New York City, and New England.
He carries on his family’s tradition of recording the sounds of America, a legacy that dates back to the 1940’s. His grandfather, Vincenzo, was a leading documentarian of post-war jazz in New York City. He recorded live shows on a 78-rpm record pressing machine—a portable record plant.
