Mark enjoys writing about himself in the third person. He is a composer and singer/songwriter from Saratoga Springs, New York. His music comes in many flavors… There are the soulful piano and vocal songs that are confessional and comfortable like a cardigan. Then you have the orchestral and classical instrumentals which sit around drinking tea with their pinkies out. And lastly, there are the trippy electronic psychedelic tunes that apparently involve random animals and space travel. So, yeah, hard to sum up. He mixes elements of contemporary folk, gospel, blues, jazz, classical, electronic, psychedelic, new age, and swamp core (joking). His style is like the love child of Elton John, Liz Story, and Shpongle (not joking).
His illustrious resume includes (in no particular order): ditch digger, house painter, conference keynote speaker, security guard, web developer, National Guardsman, professional musician, festival organizer, pizza chef, graphic designer, mail room worker, bread baking instructor, English teacher, stained glass artist, summer camp program director, cookbook editor, radio show host, children’s performer, high school dropout, assistant cobbler, Army Infantry soldier, non-profit board member, storyteller, dishwasher, entertainment manager, researcher, and university IT director.
He has yet to become a bee keeper. Please get on him about that. He is somewhat of a slacker.
Mark thanks you for reading this. Really, he does. He told me so.
