Mark Proudly Endorses Vintage Vibe Guitar Pickups
Influences
60's, 70's, and '80's rock, blues, country, and southern rock and the Video below which is one of my all time favorites!
Mark Barnhill has music in his bones and throughout the years has played in several successful bands and opened for major artists such as Louisiana's LeRoux, Survivor, Jefferson Starship, and .38 Special. Growing up in West Kentucky, music was constantly playing in the family home. As a child he remembered watching Elvis movies and dreaming of becoming a famous singer. Being surrounded by music influenced him to pick up the guitar and eventually pave his own way into the music industry. Barnhill got his first guitar at the age of 13 and could be found in his room literally practicing ‘til his fingers bled. At 15 he was out seeing shows and meeting other musicians, one whom he labels a mentor and credits with teaching him how to play. Once he honed his playing skills he was out playing with bands and says, “I realized I never wanted to do anything else. I just loved to play.” He has a vast array of musical influences ranging from Buck Owens, Restless Heart, and Little River Band to Three Dog Night, Grand Funk Railroad, The James Gang, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. His fervor for various genres gave him experience across the board and he began playing with many bands over the years, which lead to co-founding the band Whitehorse with his childhood mentor. Not long after, he met his wife Sandy and the two moved to Nashville in 1984. In 1990 he parted ways with Nashville and headed back to Kentucky forming an acoustic cover band, Yancy, Barnhill and Dunkerson. They were offered a recording contract but it fell through during negotiations. In 1994 Yancy and Barnhill appeared as a duo on Charlie Daniels Talent Roundup show on CMT. In the mid 1990s he and Sandy opened “Mark Barnhill's Country Music Theater" in Benton, KY. It featured family oriented music with shows every Saturday. It was a short-lived project but something he loved being a part of. In 1995 they returned to Nashville and Mark revisited the music scene. In 2005 he played with a cover rock band for about a year before accompanying country artist Daniel Smith on guitar and background vocals from 2006 until 2008. Mark is currently concentrating on his solo career and songwriting. He says he just wants to make a living making music. He is no stranger to the music Industry and he is turning his childhood dreams into a reality.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian
