We're three musicians who play and sing a wide variety of traditional and popular music from the era of sea shanties right up to the present day. You'll hear Irish ballads, rebel songs, Beatles tunes, James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkel, Dylan, and many other styles and songsmiths represented in our performances - each tune transformed by our unique blend of drums, guitar, cello, and vocal harmonies (with an occasional bass or harmonica added just for fun).

Introducing...
![Jim Kirchmyer - Cello & Backing Vocals
The elder statesman of The Marksmen, Jim's fine cello work gives us a very unique sound. Jim makes his home in Hebron, CT. He's retired, but remains very active in the music community. When not performing with various ensembles, singing with the New England Chamber Choir, or traveling the country visiting family, Jim spends his time napping and practicing his German.

Mark Weaver - Lead Vocals & Percussion
Mark has been layin' it down on the drums and singing in local bands for over 20 years. He formed The Marksmen in 1998, with the help of guitarist Steve Nivison and harmony master Jack Burns. Mark currently lives in Tolland, CT, and proudly teaches elementary school in the East Hartford school district. Despite this, Mark still possesses most of his sanity. We think.
![Steve Nivison - Guitars & Backing Vocals
Another founding member of The Marksmen, Steve is no stranger to the local music scene. He has been performing in local bands for well over two decades. Steve's tasteful, steady, melodic guitar work is a Marksmen trademark. Steve resides in Middletown, CT, and by day (and occasionally at night), he works as a respiratory therapist. He helps our music to "breathe".](http://content.bandzoogle.com/users/Marksmen/images/photos/gallery/2227894-thumb.jpg?2 "Steve Nivison - Guitars & Backing Vocals
