Mark Taylor is taking Music City by storm and he will be playing a special concert June 30th at the Bethany Beach Bandstand!  The 25-year-old Nashville resident brings that feel-good ‘90s country sound back to his fans with his smooth vocals and soulful melodies. Having already opened for and shared the stage with superstars Big & Rich, Bryan White, LOCASH, Jackson Dean, Eric Paslay, Joe Nichols, Jon Pardi, Russell Dickerson, Zach Top, Members of R.E.M., The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Collective Soul, and many more, Mark is certainly one to watch in Nashville.

With numerous singles under his belt, his release, I’m Down peaked at #11 on a fan-voted country chart. He has received airplay all over the world including Australia, Ireland, London, Switzerland, and the U.K. His single, “Dust Off That Dirt”, has received nearly a quarter of a million streams and has been added to several terrestrial AM/FM radio rotations throughout the Northeast and Southeast United States, as well as internationally. His music video for “Dust Off That Dirt” premiered on The Country Network, broadcasting to over 40 million households. He’s been featured in numerous print & TV placements and also won ASCAP’s 2023 Harold Adamson Country Lyric award for this critically-acclaimed song.
