A Townsville-based native of South Australia, Mark has been a stalwart in the Townsville music scene for 7 years now, busking most weekends on Flinders St East and gigging whenever he can. In more recent years, Mark has also played at numerous festivals along the East Coast, including Townsville Cultural Fest 2014, with more coming later this year. Fusing elements of blues, roots, rock, alternative, folk and classical; as a solo artist Mark has developed a distinctive sound.

he didnt say a damn thing about evoking emotions, its just him paying guitar....and people who play this type of guitar usually convey a very narrow pallet of music, its usually the same airy reverd driven stuff that initially sounds deep, almost because of the reverb alone.

but Ted-X videos seems to usually lack depth.
