Mark Wood
and the
The West

“Mark Wood’s Guitar playing could take him anywhere, from session work to the cover of Rolling Stone.” — Music Connection Magazine

Mark began performing professionally as a bassist at the ripe old age of eleven. A lifetime on stage has given him the ability to know just what a crowd wants, even before they know. Mark has a four octave vocal range and an ear for the many different vocal styles of today's country music artists. Possessing this ability enables his audience to enjoy an uncanny musical reproduction of their favorite artists. Mark is a multi-instrumentalist, playing 6 and 12 string acoustic and electric guitars, bass, piano, banjo, saxophone, harmonica, percussion and just about anything else he picks up.

Starting out in Rock and Roll, Mark soon found his musical tastes ever-increasing. He bought an acoustic guitar and began playing folk and country rock music. In the late 1970's, as a solo musician, Mark's crowds went wild listening to an acoustic Led Zepplin medley one minute and the next … vocalizing both "Waylon and Willie" in the song "Good Hearted Woman." Mark's love for all types of music has enabled him to perform any era or style of music imaginable.

In 1992 Mark focused his career on Country Music and began writing and performing in both LA and Nashville. The band "The West" was originally formed as an original music backup band for Mark. They have now grown into the most versatile Country Band around. These great musicians have collectively played all over the world, playing for and touring with many of today's major artists. Mark Wood and the West cover all areas of country music: Western swing, old style fiddle and banjo bluegrass, Classic Country, Country Rock, high-energy country-dance music and they can also through in some good old Rock 'n' Roll, to keep everyone happy. Mark Wood and the West are the best possible choice for your upcoming event. We'll see ya'll at the show!
