Well-known for his recent single “Scared to Start”, Ohio native Michael Marcagi sold out the Basement East last Wednesday night. “Scared to Start” is one of the many songs Marcagi performed from his 2024 EP “American Romance”. With a packed crowd and a full band beneath the stage lights, the energy was through the roof. Fans were enamored with Marcagi’s performance as they sang his lyrics alongside him. Closing out the night with a fan-requested encore, this Ohio native brought out his opener, Lily Fitts, for a song before ending the night. I think it’s safe to say Marcagi’s music career is on the rise, and I’m sure Nashville hasn’t seen the last of him yet.
