A rock and roll heart, country roots, and spellbinding songcraft: Recording and performing artist Mark Mackay has left his boot prints on stages like Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium to Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. As a headliner, a festival act, or highlighting bills across the country with an array of performers — including Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, and Eli Young Band, plus rockers like REO Speedwagon, Night Ranger and 38 Special — Mark Mackay captivates audiences with fretboard mastery and memorable hooks.
Mark says that the cancellation of his arduous touring schedule, allowed for a deeper exploration of his craft and new ways to communicate. “When the pandemic started, I didn’t know how to use a single recording program,” he explains. “But I ran to the music store, bought an interface and a MIDI keyboard, and learned how to mic guitars, do demos, create Livestream performances, and connect with people one on one.”
Mark has also teamed up with a formidable co-writer and co-producer, Jeffrey Steele, a Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee with GRAMMY nominations and multiple BMI and NSAI Songwriter of the Year honors. The duo is also mining Steele’s deep catalog, which includes hits for Rascal Flatts, Montgomery Gentry, Faith Hill, and Aaron Lewis, recasting gems for Mark to record.
Debuting with his full length Trials & Tribulations, Mark introduced his vital blend of country and west coast rock. EP’s Long Wild Road and Leaving California — augmented by regular single releases — established his guitar-driven signature of hard-hitting choruses with soulful echoes of Bakersfield and Laurel Canyon.
