RELEASED ON NOV. 1, 2024 – Nashville, TN: My latest Single, “DANCE UNTIL DAWN” can now be heard on 80+ music platforms worldwide! I wrote this song, sang the lead & harmony vocals as well as arranging and produced it in studio with Mr. Bob Williams, Recording Engineer. I am super excited about the Final tracks and have been playing it Live in my Shows this past year. The Studio musicians that performed on this were extraordinary, but it’s a guitar driven song and those tracks were played by Grammy & Dove Award winner, Mr. Tom Hemby. It’s a song about a guy coming in to his favorite Bar and ready to dance the night away! I threw in a little Beatles ‘teaser’ in the Chorus so give it a listen and download it to your playlist – it’s a rocker and you’ll love it!

My last Single, “WHEN WILL YOU COME HOME AGAIN” can be heard on all the music platforms as well. This is the first song I not only wrote & performed but arranged and produced it in studio and am especially proud of the Final tracks. It’s a song about two lovers, who have gone their separate ways and after years have gone by, they still have a desire to know whether they cross each others minds from time to time. This haunting melody is further heightened by the sounds of the pedal steel guitar played by the renowned Mr. Bruce Bouton, who’s played on both Ricky Skaggs & Garth Brooks albums. I’m honored to have him on this record, so give it a listen! Here’s a link on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1vXQsGPgfI

Each year at Christmas, remember to listen to last year’s Release called “THE MYSTERY”. I re-released it this year in the form of a lyric video found on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/HgwbhGANYYc. It has an uplifting message for such a time as this and laced with a buttery smooth violin track played by Ms. Julie Jackson. I wrote this song out of my personal salvation experience, (which I’ve often nicknamed, ‘My Love Song to Jesus’), it was written with a vision so that others would be able to relate to the same kind of experience I had. At Christmas time and every day of the year, I hope this song Blesses you, the listener. https://ingrv.es/the-mystery-ga8-a

I have fond memories of being Interviewed as a Featured Artist on FOX 17’s “Rock & Review” Show, Hosted by Eric Dahl and aired on January 27th, 2023. I was also asked to appear on “The Daily Refresh” Show on Fox’s sister station, WTVC Channel 9 in Chattanooga! In addition, The Mark Anthony Ensemble had the honor of performing my last 2 Singles Live on WSMV Channel 4’s “Today in Nashville” Show, (check out my Gallery for some fun pics of us on the Gibson Gives Stage). If you missed those TV appearances, here’s the links to all of those + a rare Podcast featuring me being interviewed by Iron Gate Record’s President, Mr. Mark Skoda:

2024 was a busy year for the Mark Anthony Ensemble, playing numerous Festivals and outdoor events starting with Main Street Festival sponsored by the Heritage Foundation of Williamson County in Downtown Franklin. This event is one of the largest Festivals in the SE, attended by well over 100,000 people and this year exceeded that! We also travelled to the Memphis area in Collierville, TN to be the Headliner for their “Fair On The Square” and were selected to perform for this year’s Bellevue Community Picnic, Smyrna’s Depot Days & “Franklin On The Fourth” celebrating Independence Day. The Band was requested for the 2nd time to perform for this year’s Pumpkinfest and we lit up the Main Stage with another spectacular performance.

2025 looks like the Band won’t be slowing down and Mark has already gone into the studio to lay down the first tracks for his upcoming Single, “Always” and stay tuned for it’s Release early this year. The Mark Anthony Ensemble is also proud to announce a brand new Member of the Band! Mr. Joe Folan of Nashville, TN joins us as our new Electric & Acoustic Lead Guitarist and will be singing background vocals as well. We are looking forward to his debut coming up in March @ Drifter’s BBQ so make sure you follow the Band for our Tour dates, come on out for a fun evening and make sure you say ‘Hi’ to Joe!
