About Me



Well, here’s my story in an abbreviated form. I’ve been playing guitar since I was 10, and I’ve played in bands since high school. I’ve played all over the Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana tri-state area through the years in various projects, including everything from acoustic to rock to metal. Over the past few years I’ve put together my own recording studio, and will be releasing a cd in early ’08 on AudioVice Records.

For more info, including a detailed bio, check out my official band website, Mark Spencer Music.
