R & B singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ayoka joined Mark and Nicole for a mystical, sensual and fast paced fun show

Ayoka was brought up as an orphan in Maryland (despite what some bios of hers will tell you) and has a genius IQ, operatic vocal range and can play several musical instruments. In fact her piano teacher was so impressed, they encouraged her to be a singer. She refuses to use AutoTune and has put out the 2020 album Venus which features both male and female hands embracing her tattooed back and the 2021 song Weekend, whose lyrics really amused mark. She also indulged her nerdy side, was very frank about her polyamorous sexuality and gave Mark and Nicole some advice based on the energy she was picking up on Zoom

A tribute to former Dark Mark Show guest and extraordinary person Charly Gienau who was taken from us far too soon. May we meet again in some form or another...

From September 2013
Mark and Josi welcomed Charly Gienau, singer and guitar player for Many of Odd Nature Magician Micah Cover and Fla to the lighter side of the dark side. Charly talked about being one of the few female guitar players at Musicians Institute, how Burning Man changed her outlook on music and life in general, the common ground between burners and goths, cursing up a storm with Andy Dick and the ease of finding zombies in LA for video shoots.

Micah talked about working at the Magic Castle and giving tours there and even passed along his magic powers to Mark temporarily to amaze Josi Charly and Fla, who corrected Mark's bad Italian and pondered his offer of a homemade Spaghetti dinner.

From August 2015
Charly plays a song she wrote for Mark "Mysteries and Lullabies"

Master Guitar Players Janet Robin and Markus Illko of The String Revolution joined Mark and special guest co-host Bree Walker for a terrific show.

Markus answered a Craiglist ad that Janet placed to form The String Revolution. He talked about growing up in Austria and studying classical guitar and estolled the punk rock credentials of Mozart. He talked about the feel that he gets on his nylon guitar and how he is looking forward as is Janet to playing live with the other 2 guitarists in The String Revolution for the first time in almost 2 years.

Lili Haydn, Itai Disraeli and MB Gordy of the Grammy Award winning band Opium Moon joined Mark and Nicole to talk about music and love
Lili was surprised when Mark told her she was cut out of the rerelease of the Tom Petty soundtrack she played on, about how sensual the indescribable music Opium Moon makes, so much so they almost titled their new album Dancing and F***ing  and what it is like to be in a band for the first time in over 20 years, much less one that blends players and styles from all over the world and features her husband Itai
Itai described meeting Lili and bonding over a wah wah pedal, what the difference is between a fretless and fretted bass, how the band is a template for world peace as he was born in Israel and he plays with Iranian ducimer maestro Hamid Saedi and how he strutted down the aisle when the group won their Grammy for best New Age Album in 2019
MB talked about his vast and unusual collection of drums, sessions he has done for upcoming albums by Adele and Justin Beiber (!), hinted at what it was like to tour with the Doobie Brothers and what it is like to be in a band with a loving couple and the magic that comes from the 4 of them playing together
The new Opium Moon album Night and Day will be on sale and available to stream August 27th
