Soon, a repertoire with "Beach-Pop" sounds is set up (Jason Mraz, Bruno Mars, Donavon Frankenreiter), but their influence Jazz, Soul & Funk takes over: far from the idea of playing the standards, but propose a different universe.
To propose a contemporary Jazz & revisited (Robert Glasper, José James), to offer modern Soul (Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake), to offer the current Funk ("RH Factor", "Jamiroquai"), to offer R&B (Musiq Soulchild, D'Angelo).

En mars 2013, Jean-Charles, claviériste, invite son ami chanteur Valentin à rejoindre Florent à la batterie, et Robbin à la basse. Ensemble, ils forment The Marseille Acoustic Band.
Très vite, un répertoire aux sonorités "Beach-Pop" se met en place (Jason Mraz, Bruno Mars, Donavon Frankenreiter), mais leur influence Jazz, Soul & Funk reprend le dessus : loin de là l'idée de jouer les standards, mais proposer un univers différent.
Proposer un Jazz contemporain & revisité (Robert Glasper, José James), proposer une Soul moderne (Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake), proposer du Funk actuel ("R.H. Factor", "Jamiroquai"), proposer du R&B moins acidulé (Musiq Soulchild, D'Angelo) et même pourquoi pas, faire aimer le Hip-Hop au Quinquas ?
On joue ce que l'on aime, tubes ou pas. The Marseille Acoustic Band est un jeune quartet audacieux, qui bouscule les habitudes musicales.
"The Marseille Acoustic Band was phenomenal! We booked them for our wedding at Chateau Allure du Lac. They were legitimately the best wedding band I've ever heard. I've been a musician for 25+ years and can say with confidence that these guys are extremely talented musicians and top-notch performers. All of our guests had the time of their lives dancing the night away to their music. They even learned a few special songs for us and performed them perfectly. Great music, great stage presence and energy, and all around great guys to work with. We were thrilled with the band, and give them our absolute strongest recommendation! Sincerely, Devin Henry."
Verified booking on FixTheMusic"They have been at our chateau for a wedding and it was great. First, the guys having a great time that they can play music with each other. So it is a pleasure to see them play. And they play very well. Nice covers and they can play a lot of songs. The bride and groom ask to play a certain song for the first dance, and they manage to learn that particular song with an hour. Just an example of the flexibility of the guys. If you would like to have a band from France; which you can trust that they will be on time and make your party, please contact Valentin. I’m sure you have a great party! Thanks Ed and FixTheMusic for helping me and Valentin and his colleagues."
