About the artist:

Demarcus Baysmore is a skilled and engaging guitarist from Texas who is best known for his jazz, blues, and funk musical stylings. He began playing at age twelve and has since performed across the northwest in venues both large and small with a wide variety of talented musicians throughout his career.

Demarcus studied guitar at Oklahoma Baptist University and the Navy School of Music before joining Navy Band Northwest, where he played and toured as their guitarist for four years. Upon moving to the Pacific Northwest in 2019, Demarcus quickly became immersed in the Seattle music community and has collaborated with numerous musicians and groups as a performer, writer, and recording artist.

Influenced by musicians like Wes Montgomery, Mark Lettieri, and Tosin Abasi, Demarcus aims to inspire creativity in not only his listeners, but also fellow musicians and students through his music and teaching.
