Marc and the Contenders

Marc and the Contenders bring the Bay Area’s premier Waylon Jennings tribute to the Green & Columbus Stage, delivering the outlaw country legend’s music with the passion and authenticity it deserves. The band spans Waylon’s entire career — from his early Nashville days and breakthrough outlaw classics to overlooked gems and beloved collaborations with Willie Nelson — covering the rockers, the twangers, the sweet ones, and the salty ones. Whether you saw Waylon live back in the day or are just discovering the magic of “Mammas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys,” Marc and the Contenders promise a set of pure musical storytelling in the heart of North Beach.
