Mars Hill

Founded in 2002, the band Mars Hill’s unique alternative, melodic rock sound was born out of guitarist “Chip” and vocalist Jack Marques’ chance meeting with acclaimed producer Michael Sweet (solo artist, Stryper vocalist). Both veterans of the local music scene, it was Jack and Chip’s first time working together and upon hearing the songs they collaborated on, Michael felt there was a certain magic in what they wrote. After spending time writing, they knew it was time to do a record. Chip recruited seasoned bassist and friend Chris Sutherland. Jack brought with him long time music partners drummer Michael Aguiar and keyboardist Ruben DeMello. Each addition brought their own distinctive flavor to the table and during rehearsals for the record; they knew something special was beginning to happen.
