Bio
After years of pursuing a day job as an attorney in Fort Wayne, Indiana,
Mark Paul Smith has opted to reach for his dream in the music industry
of releasing his first solo CD. Filled with twelve story-telling tunes
compared to Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles and Jackson Browne with a smooth
rolling vocal edge, Mark Paul Smith has assembled a team of seasoned musicians
to support him on his CD - John Morreale on bass; Thomas Cooley on drums;
Kenny Taylor, Kerry Marx (and Mark Paul) on guitars; Larry Pester and George
Conner on piano; Jesse Hawkins on violin; Kenny Holycross on pedal steel
guitar; Nick Gulacsy on accordion; Paul Kioebge on banjo and Chet Chambers
on tambourine. Amy Maxwell assists Mark Paul, Kenny Taylor and John Morreale
on background vocals. Mark Paul sings lead vocals on all songs, plays harmonica
and is the principal songwriter. Robin Jenney (Zapp, Teddy Pendergrass)
signed on as producer for the project which was recorded at Jenney's Sweetwater
Studios in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Mark Paul Smith is a veteran heartland country rocker who has played from Chicago
to New Orleans and everywhere in-between. He's written hundreds of songs for
albums and films, and was formerly in the band Dive Bomberz. The multidimensional
Smith owns his own law practice and has been a trial attorney, standing up for
the little guy, for more than twenty years. His entertainment background uniquely
qualifies him to represent artists of all kinds. His country and rock songs tell
great stories, some of them very humorous and still very true-to-life.
The "Drivin' All Night" CD art sports Smith on (of all things) a scooter. "I
figured it was one way of drivin' all night and getting nowhere," Smith remarks
facetiously about his CD insert pose. "I'm motivated by the spirit of song. I
would like to make people dance and have fun, and I hope these songs accomplish
that for my audience."
