Name: It Is What It Is by Marcus Magellan the Bonjo Jug Band
Duration: 2 min 8 s
Description: A whimsical folky jazz blues song about our imperfect world.

“This music is particularly fascinating because it is comprised exclusively of elements that other artists use to crossover or give them a niche edge. The steel pans, calypso feel, banjos, and other folk instruments are not a gimmick, but are the absolute core of Marcus Magellan the Bonjo Jug Band's sound. It is wildly fun, unashamedly bright, and down-right entertaining. Their new release Let Them Go showcases the top of their game. The lyrics have just enough silliness to make the listener crack a grin, but the message is important and completely relatable. Be true to yourself, don't let love string you along, and set your troubles free. The groove bounces, the melodies are catchy, and the singing completely steals your attention. This is another very fine release by Marcus Magellan the Bonjo Jug Band that radiates joy and is fun from beginning to end.”

Well crafted catchy songs with a bouncy upbeat tempo. Developed by many years of busking that will beeline you too a good mood and happiness.

Let me start my bio with a question and answer. Do you wanna be happy? If your answer is yes, great, get yourself a banjitar, practice a lot, let jug band music inspire you. 
Listen to artist like Eddy Kelly, Old Southern Jug Blowers and other great merry making skiffle musicians from yesterday and today.
Finally, get rid of what's holding you back, go out busking and stir up the passers-by with a good old-time banjitar bash.
Soon you will be making you own original "old songs". You will have autonomous freedom, soon you will achieve bliss.
“Marcus Magellan has been playing music since he was nine years old. Although Marcus came to the United States at the age of two, he originated from the land of music itself, Brazil. 
Exposed to all kinds of music and played guitar for many bands, Marcus brings years of playing experience and wide musical influence to his interpretation of folk, jug, early jazz and swing.
Caught somewhere between skiffle and upbeat folk, his instrumentals and vocals evoke the early days of American music with a style all his own”.
