i am close friends with Mark, and everytime he speaks, it's like wisdom flowing out of him. He's an absolutely incredible role model, and just such an inspiration.
former juliard student. he dropped out when his teachers refused to teach him eddie van halen rifs on his violin. now he's a rockstar with one of the greatest bands on the face of the planet. and i had the honor of jamming with him back in high school =)
Omg i played with him and a few of my friends did IT WAS AWESOME hes really cool and awesome then our whole school orcherta had a concert with him he played his viper and let others play his viper but i didnt but we played viva la vida sunshine of your love and a whole bunch more and he played iron man TOTALLY AWESOME
I had the good fortune of being in a band with him waaaaaaaaay before the TSO days and he is one of the most gifted, talented, giving performers you'll ever see. He's also an amazing composer and clinician (he runs sting programs at schools teaching kids that it's "cool to play violin" on top of everything else). This must have been an incredible concert to be at live. I knew he did big venues and he's just totally going all out and truly in his element at this one!
the clinic he does with kids is called EYS Electrify Your strings i met mark thru that and now have a 5 string viper he is a total sweetheart and teddy bear!
we get mark on the west coast tour this year. memphis tn will welcome mark with open arms. people in the east coast tour take care of anna for us and we will take care of mark for yall. this is going to be a great tour this year. dec 23 can not come fast enough!!!!! :)
He is going to be touring with the West coast troupe this year with TSO, so I will get to see him! As excited to see him as I am, I will miss watching Anna Phoebe rock out.
This is such an AWESOME video of Mark Playing!How great is THAT.....that someone got close enough to video HIM for a change. We'd ALL love to see more TSO video's showing Mark playing his super violins.....they really rock! The guy sure has alot of energy!! I love this video.....THANKS!
Live is without a doubt better. There isn't a single video on youtube or anywhere else that gives you the true feeling of actually being there. Especially being front row with some of my favorite musicians literally getting in my face, like on this vid. Mark was going to come to my high school, but he couldn't because it was during the early stages of this tour. Was it his "Mark Wood Experience" show you saw?
wow!!! excellant!!! I didn't appreciate the violin till I saw Mark Wood play. He is just incredible. I got to talk to him a few times at the meet n greets. I was taking video for a sec, I had to put my camera down to watch this man. Oh, and he looks goood too.
