Marco Collins changed millions of people’s lives in the 90’s as a DJ for 107.7 The End, making famous bands like Beck and Harvey Danger, and he remains one of the most interesting and important voices in the Seattle music scene today. He’s a friend of the Monarch (which is awesome!) and a thrower of great shows (like this one for MusiCares that we really suggest you get tickets for while they last).
