Mark Zalaznik Music
Overview
I have been playing guitar since I was 2005 and I have been singing since I could talk. I have been performing since 2013 at birthday parties, barn dances, coffee shops, bars, charity events, fairs, weddings, corporate events and many more! I am willing to play at any event you ask as long as it works in my schedule. I have my own sound system that I use for small and large venues. I play country music with a little bit of classic soft rock. I love playing music, meeting new people, and finding new places to play. Call, Facebook message, or email me to book! The earlier you book the better!

November 5, 2025Such a fun time
Mark was awesome! I booked him for my friend’s 21st birthday surprise and he was so versatile. Always nervous booking things for younger groups of people but he was so nice and accommodating it really made the day special for her!

What to expect
When you see me perform at a bar, I play up beat music that people can sing along to and dance to. At coffee shops and more laid back venues, I play easy listening songs mixed with some of the bar songs that I play. Depending on the venue, I have play 30 minutes to 6 hours.
About
The first time I picked up a guitar was in 2005 and I have not put it down sense. The first time I played live was when I was 16 and The Iowa State Fair and that experience got me hooked on performing. I've been playing regularly since 2013 at local bars, town festivals, fairs, wineries, private shows, and many other types of venues and events.
Additional booking notes
I am willing to play at almost all types of venues. I just love playing so I am not too picky.

Set list
I have way too many songs to list, but I mostly play country from the 50's to present, rock from 50's-70's, and soft rock. I also have a number of Texas/red dirt/Appalachian country tunes!
Influences and inspiration
My biggest influences are: George Strait, Bob Seger, Garth Brooks, Jon Pardi, Kenny Chesney, Merle Haggard, Tracy Lawrence, Randy Travis, Cody Jinks, Tyler Childers, Turnpike Troubadours, Charles Wesley Godwin, Sawyer Brown, Flatland Cavalry, Cole Chaney and Jim Croce.
I grew up listening to music with my dad while milking cows, so a lot of my musical taste comes from him. I try to keep a good mix of music so everyone can enjoy listening.
Setup requirements
I have my own equipment. I would just need one outlet
