Mark Cutler leads a variety of roots-rock bands, combines powerful lyrics with memorable melodies and driving rhythm. He spins tales about men who drink alone or hover over a lover.
He sings stories about ghosts, midget wrestlers, walking in the woods, being remembered, just being alive and getting used to this.
Former Schemers and Raindogs front man, Mark teams up with a variety of musicians and like Travis Bickle he will play “Anytime and anywhere” and sometimes he’ll show up alone with his guitar and he’ll sing whether you want him to or not.
Tonight, Mark will be joined by some of his “famous” band mates Rick Coutu and Jimmy Berger.
