Marc Gartman is a singer-songwriter and film director based in New York City. He has collaborated with several acts, including Rivulets, Casey Block, and Jon DeRosa. He recorded with the latter as Pale Horse and Rider.

[edit] Background

Gartman directed "Closer Than That", a 2002 documentary on Low, the Duluth, Minnesota act he has performed with on numerous occasions.

Gartman is also part of No Wait Wait, an indie rock outfit which formed in 2005. Their self-titled debut was released on Alan Sparhawk's (of Low) Chairkickers' Union Music record label. The recording features performances from Sparhawk and Mimi Parker (both of Low).

Marc Gartman now calls Duluth, MN his home and has since 2005. His band, 'No Wait Wait', will release their sophomore album on Chairkickers' Union Music on September 12th, 2006. They also recorded a third album in the summer of 2006 called 'You Need My Heart' that will not see release until 2007.

Gartman put the No Wait Wait moniker on indefinite hiatus in the Winter of 2006. A new project The Gallows with fellow Duluthian Nathan Starke was started around the same time. They recorded their debut album 'Sings Erik Sommer' in Gartman's home studio '3510 Minnesota'. This record was released on December 16th, 2006. The Gallows have most recently recorded a version of 'Rainbow Connection' for a benefit CD.

In the Winter of 2007 The Gallows began preproduction work on their sophomore effort, a children's book/CD chronicling the adventures of two Park Point rabbits who get lost in Duluth's Central Hillside and are rescued by an amalgam of friendly animals. They plan to record this full length in the Spring of '07. Rounding out the project on upright bass and scratch board are Karl Anderson and Joey Flynn, respectively.
