Overview

I play everyone's favorite songs in a style fitting to smaller spaces, stripped down but with the full character of the music. I can play anything from early jazz, blues and country of the 40s and 50s to the Pop and Rock music of the 21st century, all with voice and guitar!

Mark was such a wonderful addition to my mother's 80th birthday at the beach. He literally MADE the party! Thank you for being so flexible, joyful, and talented, Mark! Appreciated your on time (early!) arrival, and your willingness to go with the flow. I would highly recommend for folks to hire you!
