Marc Heymann Brings a Night of Classics and Original Music to Kingdom Brewing

Locals of the Northeast Kingdom gathered for a night of live music at Kingdom Brewing in Newport, VT, as Marc Heymann, a familiar face at the venue, took the stage. A regular performer at Kingdom Brewing, Marc is no stranger to the cozy yet lively atmosphere that makes this spot a favorite for both residents and visiting artists alike.

Kingdom Brewing, known for its inviting Brew Cabin, provides a space where local musicians can jam out while patrons enjoy authentic craft beers and good company. The rustic venue, nestled in the heart of the Northeast Kingdom, is a staple in the community, blending great music with a warm, laid-back setting. Whether it’s a Friday night or a midweek show, the brewery never fails to draw a crowd eager to unwind, sip on locally crafted beer, and take in some homegrown talent.

Originally from Texas, Marc has traded the southern heat for Vermont’s crisp air and slower-paced lifestyle, a change that seems to suit his personality well. Energetic and personable, he spent time between sets mingling with the crowd, greeting familiar faces, and making genuine connections with newcomers. His friendly, upbeat demeanor added to the welcoming atmosphere of the night, making it feel less like a performance and more like a gathering among friends.

Marc not only writes and produces his own music but also makes sure to include a few timeless classics that get the crowd singing along. His original songs, often drawn from personal experiences, offer a glimpse into his life, with heartfelt tributes to his home state. By blending covers with his own work, he keeps the set fresh and engaging, appealing to both longtime fans and first-time listeners.

If you’re a fan of The Eagles, Johnny Cash, Elvis, or Elton John, you’re in for a treat at one of Marc’s shows. His covers carry a personal touch, making them uniquely his own. His seamless balance of electric and acoustic guitars, combined with a classic rock sound infused with a hint of country twang, sets his music apart.

The energy in the room was infectious—couples swayed, children danced, and everyone was fully immersed in the music. The cozy atmosphere of the Brew Cabin made the performance feel intimate, with every note resonating deeply with the audience. Adding to the night’s heartfelt moments, Marc’s father was there, ensuring his son had everything he needed and showing unwavering support. It was a beautiful reminder of how music not only brings a crowd together but strengthens the bonds of family.

The evening was a perfect mix of feel-good music, community spirit, and relaxation. Whether you were there to enjoy a craft brew, catch up with friends, or simply soak in the music, Marc’s performance delivered a wholesome and memorable experience.

Marc performs throughout the Northeast Kingdom year-round, frequently returning to Kingdom Brewing. Last year, fans could catch him playing aboard the Northern Star, a cruise on Lake Memphremagog. Even when he’s not on stage, he’s often found strumming his guitar outdoors with the lake behind him, sharing his music on Facebook.

If you missed him this time, don’t worry—you can catch Marc at Tavern on the Hill in Newport, VT, on March 1st. Be sure to follow his Facebook page for updates on upcoming shows and performances.
