At Home With Mark

This week, we’re hanging with our pal Edge of Breakup ! We all know him from his amazing Youtube and IG but I can’t wait to hear Sean’s story and see what lit his musical fire as a kid. I can guarantee we’ll be getting super gear nerdy so prepare for some geek out. Grab a snack and a cold beverage, we’re gonna have a good time!

I first heard Doug Derryberry's guitar on a little record called "Here Come the Noisemakers" by Bruce Hornsby. It's a brilliant live album, played by brilliant musicians and everyone should hear it! I was hooked immediately by his phrasing and swagger on the instrument. Doug is so much more than a side man. He is a fantastic producer/engineer/songwriter and the list goes on and on. I cannot wait to spend some time hearing about his story! Grab a cold drink and saddle up for a fun discussion folks.

I have been excited about this show for quite some time! I first heard Lindsey Ray's powerful voice on Bleu's latest record; on a song called "Chasing" - to say it left me breathless would be an understatement. I am fairly certain that she can move mountains with one note. The soul in her voice is undeniable and the strength and sincerity of her tone is a religious experience. I cannot wait to dig into her story, she is a force to watch in the industry - keep your eyes open folks :-)

This week on the show we have the legend himself... Sage Benado. I cannot wait to dig into his history; from his time working with Seymour Duncan to building effect boards for the masses and stars, we're going to get into it all! Grab a cozy corner and a lava lamp... it's gonna be groovy.

I am beyond excited to have Nick Greer on the show this week! Greer Amps has been a mainstay on the scene for quite some time and pro players from all walks of life rely on his wonderful creations. Nick is 100% one of the founding fathers of tone and we're gonna hang and get as nerdy as we wanna; come along for the ride!

I could not be more happy to spend some time talking to Rhett Shull on this episode! We have loads in common and I foresee this show getting deep in the weeds in many areas of the music industry. Rhett has carved a beautiful niche for himself in the land of online education. On top of that he is a hard working./gigging musician that spans multiple genres; this is going to be (like Matthew Sweet said) 100% Fun!

This is a special At Home with Mark (On the Road Again) with my pal Bryan Ewald ! Bryan is an AHWM alumni but we have been trying to get together for a gear nerd session forever and I thought what better way to do it and have you all be a fly on the wall. You have seen him all over the PRS website as a product specialist in the video demos but he’s quite the accomplished musician and quite the gear dork like us… let’s do this!

This is a special, on the road edition of AHWM! We're coming to you live from my absolute favorite music shop in Maryland, Ryan Fowler's Guitar Experience. Ryan has become a friend over the years and he has quite an amazing shop here in Towson MD. We're gonna talk about Ryan's story and tour the shop a bit - maybe even play some choice gear for your ears!!

On this episode I head back into the hallways (figuratively) of my alma mater to chat with Sean McMahon: Chair of the Film Scoring program at the Berklee College of Music. Sean is a seasoned composer who has worked on a plethora of films like: Spider-Man 3, Ghostrider, Drag Me to Hell, The Grudge and many more! I can't wait to hear his story from cradle to composer!

If I had to be real with you all, I secretly I wish I was a drummer. Since the very beginning of my musical journey I have admired my rhythmic brothers in arms and Petar Janjic is no exception to that rule. You have probably seen him playing the meanest funk alive with Cory Wong, but I am excited to hear where that sense of groove came from! Grab a cozy, warm drink and settle in as we get so deep in the pocket we'll be covered in lint.
