Based in North Wales, guitarist singer-songwriter Mark Dennis was once described as a ‘One man Orchestra’. The self-taught guitarist has developed a unique acoustic playing style, combining storytelling with simple and complex finger picking, emotional lyrics and heart-felt vocals, he creates a unique blend of melodic indie-fusion soundscapes with the guitar.
2024 has been an exciting year. This acoustic raconteur has supported the amazing British songwriter Boo Hewerdine and the incredible American guitarist Brooks Williams with the dynamic fiddle player Aaron Catlow. Mark also supported the Australian songwriter Liz Stringer as part of her UK tour.
Mark was selected as a finalist in the Liverpools Acoustic Songwriters Challenge for the second year running. He has also played live on local radio and is looking forward to releasing his first digital EP of new songs during 2024. A chance meeting with Boo Hewerdine has inspired Mark to start writing his own acoustic material. Mark's songs are simple with subtle flavours of soul, folk, country and a dash of rootsey blues.
His stories embrace the listener, some say there are 'tastes of Americana' some say, 'Folk-Fusion’ have a listen and you decide.
Mark is a remarkable guitarist, playing with energy and great variation in both volume and technique.

Mark played at our wedding, we loved it so much, we asked him to play at the christening of our first born.

I knew something good was going to happen tonight when I saw him taking the guitar out of the case
