Mark Laperle

New Englander by up-bringing; Wyomingite by choice; Mark Laperle relocated to the area in 2015 with his wife, Chloe.

Mark first picked up a guitar at age 15 and hasn’t put it down since. He has enjoyed a variety of music throughout his life, from James Taylor to Gordon Lightfoot to Crosby, Stills and Nash to John Denver. But, the music with the greatest meaning and impact to him has come from Christian artists such as Phil Keaggy, Don Francisco and the late Keith Green.

Writing and performing music is Mark’s passion. Mark was a regular at many venues in Virginia and most recently his Wyoming gigs included Charlie T's, The Art of Coffee and the Nic. Mark recently had one of his original songs receive radio air play after he sent it to the City of Joplin, MO following the disaster caused by the tornado in May of 2011.

When performing at lounges and coffee houses, Mark plays mostly 70’s covers from such artists as James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Simon and Garfunkel, The Beatles, The Eagles and many more as well as his originals. Mark has ministered in music at various churches. Mark is also well equipped to organize “Open Mic” nights for local venues.
