Mark

Keyboards, Percussion, Vocals

When Mark was 6 years old, his older sister went out for the evening, and told him not to touch her Beatle albums or the "record player" while she was gone... so he did anyway!

When she came home he was caught, found playing the piano right along with the Beatle records by ear, never having had a lesson! He has been incurably infected with the Beatle bug ever since, known by his friends and fellow musicians as being "completely obsessed" with the Beatles. Mark has spent a fortune traveling to see Paul McCartney 17 times, more to come this year. His house looks like a Beatle's shrine!

Mark began music lessons at age eight. He was trained by Don Murray, who turned out students who went on to do music for Seinfeld, Tom Jones, and NRBQ. With his sophisticated keyboard equipment and hundreds of hours programming, Mark strives to break musical boundaries by reproducing live the sounds of full orchestras, weird Sgt. Pepper sound effects, or whatever challenge The Beatle's music may present. With the Rigbys, be prepared to hear Mark reproduce everything from sitars, to jet planes!
