"the first time I saw Mark solo I have to say his voice growled like a delta bluesman when not having to compete with a band"

Mark is a high octane one man blues machine who burns it up on slide guitar. He uses a loop system to layer his music, which combined with wicked harmonica and drumming with his feet provides a full, infectious sound to grab the crowd’s attention. His focus is on original material with left-of-centre covers dispersed throughout each set.
