Mark Wood
and
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'n'Roll, Mark soon found his musical tastes
ever-expanding. 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 him at one minute vocalizing both "Waylon and Willie" in the song
"Good Hearted Woman" and the next, playing an acoustic Led Zeppelin medley.
Mark's love for music of all kinds has enabled him to perform music from nearly
any style or era.
In 1992, Mark focused his career on Country music and began writing and
performing in both LA and Nashville.
The West was
first formed as a backup band for Mark's original music. It has now grown
into the most versatile Country band around. These great musicians have
collectively played all over the world, recording and touring with many of
today's major artists. Mark Wood
and
The West cover
nearly all areas of Country music including Western Swing, old-style, fiddle-and-banjo
Bluegrass, Classic Country, Country Rock, high energy Country Dance music and
they can also throw in some good, old
Rock 'n' Roll, for good measure.
