Bio

At a time when live musical performance has been affected by economics and invention, Mark Macri combined the best of both of these influences and became one of central New York's most well-known and hardest working recording artists. Using modern technology to "fill in" with his keyboard and acoustic guitar playing, Mark has spent hundreds of hours programming his accompaniment to have a human feel, and the result is the sound of a well-grooved band. With a voice you can feel at the forefront, he delivers inspired versions of modern and classic rock, pop, funk, R&B, soul and original songs. Mark's songwriting draws from his own deep, personal experiences dealing with love, death and various social issues that surely anyone can relate to.

Professionally, Mark started his career in 1986 in bands like The Allnighters, with whom he toured Japan and the northeastern United States. Since going solo in May 1991, Mark's versatility, fun personality, great sound and fierce professionalism have enabled him to excite and inspire audiences from his home base of Syracuse, New York, to Central Florida and across the U.S. and Europe.
Mark has performed in concert with national headliners such as Eddie Money, Orleans, Cheap Trick and the Subdudes. He has also been nominated for 4 Syracuse Area Music Awards (SAMMYS). Mark is also a featured artist at the nationally known venues, The House Of Blues/Orlando and The Seminole Hard Rock in Tampa.

The turning point of his career was the release of his debut CD, A Day at the Human Races. He shows no signs of stopping his creative endeavors in the studio as A Better Place, his second CD, was released in 2004, and his 5 song EP, 10 Hands, was released in January 2011. In addition to garnering the attention of publishing and recording executives from New York, Nashville and Los Angeles, Mark's creative focus has continued to evolve to infuse his own personal experiences into music for television and film. Coming full circle in 2012, Mark is revisiting A Day at the Human Races, sharing the life experiences and events that have occurred during the past 16 years since that CD's release.

Discerning audiences from Central Florida, New York and beyond continue to enjoy Mark's performances and experience his eclectic and extensive selection of music, which spotlight his ease with all musical styles and all audiences.

Whether it's for concerts, clubs, weddings or private/corporate events, if you need a band with one man in demand, it's MARK MACRI.
