Mark Hackley began playing the guitar at age 9. Born in suburban Maryland, Mark grew up in between the big cities of Baltimore and Washington, DC and the farms of eastern and western Maryland. He received two years of formal training at Rinaldi’s Academy of Music, which was once located in Laurel, MD. After these years, he taught himself to become comfortable with the guitar and also became quite good on the piano.
Mark wrote his first song, entitled “Which Way Will You Choose” at about age 15, and went on to write another 50 tunes by age 20. Mark’s music career was put on hold until the summer of 2001, when he began playing at Mossy Creek Café, in Fishersville, VA. Since then, Mark has used Gigmasters.com as his booking agent and he plays various gigs across MD-DC-VA-WV-NC. In 2003, Mark appeared on the live radio show from the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in Bristol, Tennessee. Check out his website at www.markhackley.com. Mark sells his music online, donating 15% for blood clot awareness.

I wouldn't call it luck. I'd call it God's protection, He is either teaching me a lesson or saving me for a purpose here on earth. I don't know much of anything except for the fact that God is amazing!!

Hey....we sure have missed you. I hope you'll sing The Old Rugged Cross soon....I sure do enjoy that. Hope ya'll are good....We've been keeping you guys in our prayers.
Hey there! I guess we did better than sending you a note to read to everybody with our little visit. We had such a great time. Wish that we could have had a longer chat when we were there... Miss you guys.
