With a dozen album's to his name and a new one coming one coming out soon Mark has been the foundation for music in the Bulkley Valley and beyond for decades. He sings and tours with extremely talented musicians and many of his songs have become anthems of the North. Every spring I get his "Springtime" stuck in my head and during a long, tough winter I think of "this is gonna be my year" to help get me through. Mark's music is fun, uplifting and relatable with some more sobering songs mixed in. He tells stories about the north and clearly loves where he's from. In this interview we talk about his songs, his experiences on the road, qualities that shaped him and the process of his songwriting.
