  • Bio

    Mark Guerrero was born in Los Angeles, California, grew up in East Los Angeles, and graduated from California State University, Los Angeles, with a B.A. in Chicano Studies. He began playing in rock & roll bands at age 12 and led the popular East Los Angeles band Mark & the Escorts, who recorded two singles for G.N.P. Crescendo Records in 1965. He has recorded as a solo artist for Ode Records in 1971 (produced by the legendary Lou Adler), Capitol Records in 1972, and with his group Tango for A&M Records in 1973. His songs have been recorded by artists such as Herb Alpert, Trini Lopez, Chan Romero, and his late father, Lalo Guerrero. In the nineties, Mark put a band together to back up his dad in concert. Lalo Guerrero with Mark Guerrero & the Second Generation Band played numerous venues, including the Cite de Musique in Paris, France, the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and Lalo's hometown of Tucson, Arizona. In 2002, Mark formed a new band as a vehicle for his original material called Mark Guerrero & Radio Aztlán. They've played concerts on the bill with other top Chicano artists such as Tierra, El Chicano, Malo, and Little Willie G. & Thee Midniters. Mark has recorded with Harry Nilsson, performed with Eric Burdon, sung background vocals on Los Lobos' "Papas Dream" album, assited on Ry Cooder's "Chavez Ravine" CD, and in 2003, and again in 2009, performed as a member of the legendary Chicano/Native-American band, Redbone. Mark Guerrero also hosts a popular Chicano music website, www.markguerrero.com, which is dedicated to promoting and chronicling Mark's music and history, as well as the history of Chicano music in general. Mark's articles on Chicano music have appeared on websites and magazines around the world. In 2006, Mark Guerrero had an internet radio show called "Chicano Music Chronicles," which was hosted by www.crnlive.com. Mark interviewed top Chicano artists on the show, which is now archived on Mark's website. In 2009, Mark's 1972 Capitol single "I'm Brown," with his original lyric manuscript, was on display at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles in an exhibit called "Songs of Conscience, Songs of Freedom." He's also featured in the documentary "Chicano Rock: The Sounds of East Los Angeles" that premiered on PBS television in December 2008. Mark is also a performer on a PBS special called "Trini Lopez Presents Latin Music Legends," along with Trini Lopez, El Chicano, Tierra, Little Willie G. & Thee Midniters, and the Greg Rolie Band, which aired on PBS starting in August of 2009.
