Influences
Mark Earley ~ baritone & tenor saxophone - Roomful of Blues -
"Born in Ross County, Ohio in 1961, raised in Cuyahoga Falls, Mark started on alto at age of ten, and
first worked professionally at the age of nineteen traveling with the Guy Lombardo Orchestra under the direction of Teddy Phillips. After working around Cleveland with the Easy Street Band, he moved to Denton, Texas and earned his Bachelors in Music at the University of North Texas. While in the Lone Star state he played with Dallas Brass and Electric, the Emerald City Band, and the great R&B pianist Karl Berkebile.
In 1993 he moved back to Cleveland, mainly working high society with Timmy Prida and His Fabulous Tuxedos. Mark moved to Boston in 1995, spent two years honking and walking the bar nightly at Jake Ivory's on Lansdowne St. and then spent five years entertaining Boston’s North Shore with John Keegan and Madhouse.
As a longtime fan of Roomful of Blues, and their like respect of the tradition, he has finally arrived home. Mark names Sonny Stitt as his main man, with more than a nod to Sonny Rollins and Dexter Gordon leading him to Lester Young and an appreciation for the depth and history of the music. His tone, ideas, deep bottom and charismatic stage presence further burnish what is already a legendary horn section." Bob Bell - Mgr. Roomful of Blues
