Most of you probably know Marc Ferrari as a lead guitarist and songwriter for the band Keel, but over the course of his career, Marc has donned many hats. He is an entrepreneur, an author, a producer, a car collector, and a mountain climber (of sorts). One of his short-lived but exciting band projects came at the beginning of the 90’s with a band called Cold Sweat. Timing wasn’t right and the band was lost to the grunge movement. But, Marc and the rest of Cold Sweat have given the band a pulse once again with a brand new record called Unburied Alive, which happens to be on Ron Keel’s RFK Media label.
In this interview, Marc discusses the four new songs from the Cold Sweat vault that appear on the new record, Unburied Alive. He also discusses Cold Sweat’s recent concert appearance at the M3 festival, and what the band has planned for the future. Marc also tells us about the MasterSource company he had, his time producing and playing with early Pantera, his trekking experience to Mount Everest Base Camp, cars he has collected, and anything else that might be on his to-do list for the future!

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
