I am an experienced musician with a very diverse song list from Sinatra to Jimmy Buffett. I play guitar and sing with tools such as my harmonica, harmony pedals, electric drums, loop pedals and amps and PA as well as (link hidden) performance is too large or too small. I truly LOVE entertaining. I have a song for everybody. I am very accommodating for your event in playing times and fees. Contact me and I can help you set up your perfect musical goals.
You will not regret booking Mark for your event. He has a perfect laid back vibe with an outstanding catalog of music. One of Mark's best strengths is reading the room and tailoring the set list and energy level to that audience. Everyone at our wedding, young to old, raved about him. The thing that I appreciated the most about Mark is that no one cared more about making our night special than him. I mean he genuinely cared on a personal level. Just a great guy. We can't wait to catch up with him at future gigs.
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Thank you David. You have wonderful family and friends and it was so nice to get to celebrate such a special occasion with everyone. I appreciate you choosing me ! It was an honor! Hope to see you soon.
Mark arrived early to set up and reviewed what we were looking for. He played a great mix of songs. We asked that he be aware of the volume so people Ohls talk and he hit it right through out the night. Very easy going and nice. Had a little interaction with the crowd to keep everyone engaged. We were very pleased with him.
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Thanks Walter! I appreciate those kind words. I enjoyed your family and friends. I also appreciate your kind hospitality. Hope to play for you again one day.
Mark did a great job for our rehearsal dinner. Great mix of music. Communication before event was excellent. Wouldn’t change anything about last night with Mark Anthony.
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Thank you Mark for the kind words. You have a wonderful family. So happy to have been part of the celebration. Thank you for the opportunity to play. It truly was a wonderful event!
Mark did a wonderful job providing just the right amount of volume and songs. I had several people ask me for his contact info. I will hire Mark again for my next party!
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Thank you Debbie for your review I thoroughly enjoyed playing for your wonderful group of people and hope to see you again soon
Mark got everyone up on their feet and we danced the night away! He knows classic oldies and new top hits so everyone had a great time. I'll be sure to hire Mark for my next party!
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Thank you so much I really appreciate your review
Mark showed up early and set up his lights and PA. He started on time and was soft and instrumental as we had dinner. then the fun began as he played songs like MY GIRL, WAGON WHEEL, BROWN EYED GIRL, SWEET CAROLINE and so many more great hit songs. His voice is amazing and the music is so full like a band because he uses a drum pedal and a harmony machine. Sounds like the record. He kept us entertained and only took 1, 5 minute break. I recommend Mark for any party or function. Very professional! We will definitely be using him again soon.
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Wow...thank you for the review....I truly enjoyed playing for your group...y'all are so fun.
Wow!
We hired Mark for our private party event! He was fantastic. He knows a wide variety of music and is so friendly and personable. I highly recommend and will be hiring him again!
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Thanks
Mark is a talented guy and was very entertaining. We danced and enjoyed his play list. The problem is that he came to a group of all center and left leaning Democrats wearing Trump clothing. I almost sent him home before he started.
Response from Mark Anthony Music:
Michael, Is there any way you might reconsider your review? All my competitors are all 5.star.rated except me and so far I have lost 9 gigs due to my 2 star rating you gave me. I truly did not even realize I had grabbed Trump socks. I learned my lesson. Thanks for your consideration. Mark
We had a family tradition of going to a particular YMCA family camp every year for four generations. Covid spoiled that, and when we instead brought the extended family to HIlton Head this year, my dad (Grandpa to most of the family there) had told us that he was going to miss the daily sing-alongs prior to meals at camp. As a surprise, we arranged for Mark to lead a camp-style sing-along using a copy of the camp songbook. We really appreciated the effort he put into learning several goofy songs that he’d never heard before. Mark came to our vacation rental and the entire group of 9 grandchildren all simultaneously tried to climb on to Grandpa’s lap. It really was a highlight of our week together, and Mark made it possible. He was friendly, Lind, flexible when we had to move the session a day earlier at the last minute, and had clearly put in a lot of practice time on our favorite uncommon songs. I honestly can’t say enough about how well the whole thing came together.
Mark was a delightful and professional musician who played for a mixed age crowd catering to all musical tastes for my father’s birthday. He played exactly what we wanted -a mix of classic rock (James Taylor, Chicago, The Beatles, etc) and threw in some songs for the kids too! He provided his own equipment, was on time and was extremely pleasant and responsive to my pre-event communications. Would highly recommend him!!
Response from Mark Anthony Music:

You can call me , let me know what you are planning and what you want . I will show up early and play late if necessary. My goal is to have a successful happy event. I am very professional and in mindful and sensitive to people. I carefully select my songs so that they make people happy and remind people of Good times. I am totally self-sustaining in that I have all the equipment I need including PA and lighting to do a fun, quality music event. No event it's too large or small to have my very best every time.
I played my way through school on a music scholarship
I became a Chiropractic Doctor and played music as a side. I am now retired in Hilton Head Island and play guitar and sing full time. I truly love to entertain. Making people happy is what I enjoy and I do that BEST with my music. I play all around the Island. Parties and restaurants etc. I have a huge song list with literally" a song for everyone". I am easy to work with and am very accommodating to most events.
I really don't have a lot of requirements in order to perform. A 6x6 space is all I need and one single electrical outlet usually is fine. I will bring drop cords PA lighting and all that I need to make my performance successful. I will arrive 1 hour before performance time to set up and will play my songs according to what you need.

I love Frank Sinatra and Jimmy Buffett. I also play mostly songs that were #1 hits. I have put together a list of songs from years of requests.
A flat 6x6 area with one electrical outlet is all I need to set up my equipment
