Mark Weakland, Percussion Man and Little Drummer Boy, has freelanced with some of Western Pennsylvania's best bands, artists and studios for more than 15 years. From classical to Dixieland to funk to folk, Mark's played it all.
From the stages of The Three
Rivers Arts Festival and The Pittsburgh Folk Festival to Nickšs Fat City,
Rosebud and Metropol, Mark has drummed with Sandoz (Relix Records), The
University of Pittsburgh Jazz Ensemble and African Drum Ensemble, Big Idea
(finalists in the Pittsburgh Rock Challenge), Anne Feeney,
the Swing Shifters, jazz meisters Don Aliquo, Eric DeFade, John
Blake and Eric Suessoff, The Mountain Playhouse Orchestra, just to name a few!
Mark Weakland, Singer-Songwriter Guy, has howled at the
moon, worked like a dog, played until the sunrise and been chased by a
log. He's also performed throughout Western Pennsylvania in such
venues as Graffiti, The Beehive and The Java House. His original
music has been reviewed in Pittsburgh Magazine and In-Pittsburgh, and you
can hear his music on the award-winning WYEP FM (91.3) radio show, The
Saturday Light Brigade.
Mark covers everything
from Dave Matthews and The Grateful Dead, to James Taylor, Stevie Wonder,
Joan Osborne and G. Love and Special Sauce. When he's hired for
those soft and special atmospheric occasions, he croons out classics from
Nat King Cole, Rogers and Hammerstein and George and Ira Gershwin. He also
spends a good deal of time scatting, bellowing and strumming out his own
unique blend of jazzy/rocky/folky/funky acoustic originals.
Mark sends out a monthly e-mail list to his friends and fans. Please
