| MARK LOWE Piano, Organ, Synth, & Vocals Booking, Websites and Social Networks Mark has been playing music since age ten and grew up in Uniontown, Pennsylvania in a family where music was a part of every day life. There was a big music room with a huge stereo and tons of records to listen to the latest hits, plus a piano, Farfisa organ, drum kit, bass, 6-string acoustic, 6-string electric, 12-string electric/acoustic, several amps, an autoharp, clarinet, flute, microphones, two reel-to-reel tape decks and an encouraging atmosphere for friends to drop by and listen, play and create music. His very first band came about in 1964 with best friends Larry Boyd on guitar and Dean Riggar on drums, learning songs by The Beatles and anything they could figure out from the British invasion. In August 1966 the 3 teenagers took the train alone from Connellsville to Philadelphia (were our parents CRAZY ?) to see The Beatles in concert at JFK stadium during the Fab Fours final year of touring. Mark's influences have always included The Beatles.....plus....The Rolling Stones, The Mama’s & The Papa’s, The Byrds and the many artists of Motown. During high school, Mark was the bass player for The Ovations and later while at Penn State, the lead singer and keyboard player for United and United 2. He went on to Salem College to major in music before moving to San Diego to jam around southern California during his "hippie" phase. Returning to Pennsylvania he taught private music lessons for beginner piano and guitar students and also worked with the Kawai Piano Company in Pittsburgh. His current equipment list includes a Roland Digital Piano, Previa Keyboard, Alesis Synthesizer, Fender Stratacoustic Electric Guitar, Yamaha Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, Crate Amp and Alesis Keyboard Amp plus a Cello, Console Piano and a Baby Grand Piano at his home. Over the years, Mark has lived and worked in San Diego, Baltimore, Washington D.C., New York City, Hanover, PA & Frederick, MD (two times). Mark has jammed and played with a number of local bands including The Airplane Graveyard, Stereo Vibe and Crossroads that preceded the creation of The Woo Hoo Band. mark@thewoohooband.com woohoocrew@yahoo.com www.MySpace.com/markrlowe Mark's page - click HERE |
