Mark’s had over seventy cuts over the past twenty-two years, quite a few singles that you never heard, but thankfully a few you may have, like “Moon Over Georgia”, “Like There Ain’t No Yesterday” and “That’s What I Love About Sunday”. Also “Crank My Tractor” was a big hit in Canada for Michelle Wright.
“Thanks For The G Chord” was recorded by John Michael Montgomery. “She’ll Go On You” appears on Josh Turner’s Long Black Train project.
Some of his most recent cuts are “Gravity” that he co-wrote with Josh Turner, “Travelin’ Soul” was recorded by Terri Clark, and “Free Bird In A Firebird” on Heartland. Also, look for Josh Turner’s Live From The Ryman CD at all Cracker Barrell stores. Included in the package is “Gravity” and “She’ll Go On You”. “The Way He Was Raised” co-written with Josh Turner and Bobby Tomberlin appears on Josh’s “Everything Is Fine” project.
And that’s just a few! Come out and hear what else Mark has up his sleeve.
Tonja Rose
If you ask Tonja to recall her earliest vocal performance she would take you back to a little blonde haired, blue eyed girl singing “Jesus on the Mainline.” From the first time that three year old little girl stepped on stage to sing with her Daddy and his gospel quartet anyone who knew Tonja would tell you that music WAS her destiny.
It was her love of performing and a hope of pursuing a career in music that gave Tonja the courage to move to Nashville and chase her dreams. Fueled by the love and support of her family she packed up and began the journey. Tonja quickly realized the ups and downs that go along with trying to break into the music business. No stranger to hard work she concentrated on developing her skill as a vocalist and though she fought it at first, fell in love with the art of songwriting.
For Tonja writing is not just about the next big hit, it is much more personal than that. “I want my words to touch people’s hearts,” Tonja says, “I want my songs to have a positive effect on people and give them exactly what they need when they need it. It’s that kind of emotional connection with my audience that keeps me loving what I do!”
