Mark is happy announce that HIGHER VIBRATIONS has been nominated for a 2020 BLUES BLAST AWARD and a 2021 INDEPENDENT BLUES AWARD for ACOUSTIC BLUES ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!

“Love Music Hate Cancer” is his second self published book. In March 2017, Mark was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma and underwent surgery and a series of chemotherapy treatments. He was confined to his home for the better part of that year. During this time he focused on composing music and writing his book. He has been in remission for over 2 years now and doing well!

These days Mark is gigging almost every night promoting his music and book. He is also booking speaking gigs in colleges, libraries, hospitals and city centers. He is speaking about the life style changes he has made since his diagnosis and the healing power of music.

You can catch him perform every Monday night at the Funky Biscuit in Boca Raton, FL where he is the host of their popular pro-jam
