About Me

Hard-hitting rhythms, melodic grooves and soulful vocals are key elements in what separate The Mark Sexton Band from other groups. Their latest release with “Multiformity” in early 2008 marked the turning point for this band, seeing huge success locally and regionally. At this point an extensive West-coast summer tour seemed more than necessary to be the next step for this hard working group out of Reno, Nevada. After signing a promising tour agent deal, The Mark Sexton Band has been getting ready for life on the road making frequent weekend trips to places such as The House of Blues in Las Vegas and The Sawtooth Ridge Café in Tahoe, California. Seeing albums fly at every show has more than confirmed the future for this funky ALL-acoustic reggae rock band. “No off-nights” is the motto that these guys hold true at every show. Singer/Guitarist/Songwriter Mark Sexton, Bassist Alex Korostinsky, Saxophonist Ryan Parrish and Drummer Dan Weiss have an absolute love for performing and making music together. This quality is apparent at every show making each and every performance better than the last. This love for creating music started in 2005 and since then Mark and the band have become passionate. The album “Multiformity” gets its name from the melting pot of musical styles that make up the disc’s contents. “We blended reggae, bossa-nova, funk, pop, jazz and hints of world-beat all together in a musical blender and out came this awesome album!” says Alex who also co-produced the new release. Getting ready to hit the road big-time, the band is churning out new material showcasing the soulful songwriting, smooth guitar tones and vocals of Mark, thumping bass grooves by Alex, crystal clear drum rhythms courtesy of Dan, and unique improvisation of Ryan. With spectacular live performances, The Mark Sexton Band is driving full-force making a name for themselves on the West Coast. ..
