I’m Mark Cummins, a guitarist and singer-songwriter in Tampa, Florida. I've written over 50 songs and play covers too! I provide acoustic guitar and singing, with musical moods ranging from soft rock, folk and country, pop and jazz standards, 60s rock and psychedelic hits, and reggae, caribbean and latin flavors.
I've played at Tampa-St Pete establishments including Jock-A-Mos, Loves Artifacts, Cork & Olive, Everything Dolce, Kahunas, Torchys and Brew Mostly. I play popular hits from the 50s to 90s and some originals. I am often joined by my wife, Milagros, and we sing some songs in Spanish.
Thanks for checking out my profile, and I hope to join you and entertain at your next event.

I’m Mark Cummins, a guitarist and singer-songwriter in Tampa, Florida. I have written over 50 songs (many of which can be found on youtube.) I play covers too! I can provide a night of acoustic guitar and singing with musical moods ranging from soft rock, folk and country, pop and jazz standards, 60s rock and psychedelic hits, and reggae, caribbean and latin flavors.
I grew up in Bedford, Ohio , a suburb of Cleveland. I played in several bands including Ohio Union, Fairhaven, Bimbo, Skin Sensation (we played the famous JBs in Kent), and Los Campesinos, but now I’m playing solo. I have played around the Tampa area at several clubs/restaurants including Jock-A-Mos, Love's Artifacts, Cork & Olive, Everything Dolce, Kahunas, Torchys and Brew Mostly. I play mostly cover songs, popular hits from the 50s through the 90s (but mostly 60's-70's) and a few of my original songs. I am often joined by my wife, Milagros, and we sing some songs in Spanish.
My musical influences are from a diverse set of artists. Many are the heroes of the sixties like The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Doors, Kinks, Who, Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Cream and Bob Dylan. I like seventies icons like CSNY, Led Zeppelin, Allman Brothers, CCR, Bob Marley and Van Morrison. I like progressive rock by Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes and Genesis. However, I also play songs by musicians ranging from Elvis to Lauryn Hill.
I come prepared to play with a full PA system, an amplified Takamine acoustic guitar and an Ovation acoustic-electric, and with optional backing rhythm tracks (mostly drum beats.) I bring an extra guitar and an extra microphone just in case any talented guest at the event wants to "sit in" (and this does happen.) Welcome!
