Last week, Michael Marcagi’s concert at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in NYC showcased his rising star power in folk-pop. Opening with “American Romance,” Marcagi captivated the audience with his heartfelt storytelling and strong guitar presence, reflecting his Midwestern roots and blue-collar sensibilities. Tracks like “Scared to Start,” celebrated for its TikTok virality, resonated deeply, while his cover of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu” added a fresh twist. Personal favorites like “Spend My Money” and “Turtle a la Carte” highlighted Marcagi’s versatility as a songwriter. As he continues to tour internationally and prepare his debut album, Marcagi demonstrates a meaningful impact in the modern folk scene.
