Mark Richardson is a Michigan born singer/songwriter who cut his teeth playing guitar in the band "BRANDED". Branded was a mainstay in some of Flint's authentic honkytonks. While Mark was honing in his skills as a guitarist, he was given an Alan Jackson CD and he began to develop his singing skills. Mark was also heavily influenced by George Strait and Gary Allan. He appreciates their contributions to the country music industry and credits them for shaping his musical "personality".In 2003, Mark joined forces with producer Dan Crabtree and recorded "Sounds from Tequila Town," consisting of all original songs written by Mark himself. He pays tribute to his heroes with his ballads like "My Heart” and “If We Meet Again" and his up-tempo edgier numbers like "The Road” and “Heart to a Strange Hand."
"Sounds from Tequila Town" drew attention of Nashville's Platinum Plus record label and they released "She's Gone," which broke the Billboard Magazine's Top 100 by the end of 2004 and remained there for a record 32 weeks. This is an achievement establishing Mark as a bona fide artist and songwriter in the country music industry.
2009 became a landmark year for Richardson as he opened for national acts such as Gretchen Wilson, Whitney Duncan, The McClymonts and Kenny Chesney, as well as performing with such acts as Rodney Atkins, Luke Bryan, and Phil Vassar at the 2009 WYCD Downtown Hoedown. For Mark, staying busy and bringing great people great music is his passion. Though Mark has been actively writing and performing for years, he still remains one of the most professional and courteous artists on the scene. After a short hiatus from performing live, he became a temporary fill-in lead singer for the Steel Horse Band in 2012, while lead singer Alan Turner was on leave. In addition, Alan has recorded a selection of Mark's penned originals on his 2013 release “Ride On.”
Ryan Scott is a third-generation drummer. He started drumming when he was only 2 years old. From the time he was 8 years old Ryan was playing in bands with his Family and friends. Ryan's love for Country music and a chance meeting with Mark Richardson started an electric musical relationship which led to the creation of Shotguns and Violins. Moving to Rhythm Guitar and Vocals, has given Ryan the opportunity to express himself through the music more easily and has led to a better connection with the crowd.
