“He’s a giant. True artist.” - ROGER HODSON, SUPERTRAMP

“I am humbled when I hear work such as yours. It is so good.” - IAN THOMAS

“Not just any songwriter, Mark has become a brilliant chronicler of the human condition .... the longing ... the pain .. the dreams, and the joy that we all share as humans. And so his band was born to support this music in what is becoming a must see group in Ontario clubs. The band is perfectly dialled in to the unique songs and singular style created by Mark to deliver those stories, and our dreams, as they unfold before us one song at a time; each truth resonating in the universal language of the heart and explained simply by one of Canada’s most unique voices in the art of songwriting.” - MARC JORDAN
