Minnesota based singer, songwriter and guitarist Mark Cameron has been active in live music for over thirty years. Mark began his performing career in the rich folk-rock scene of the early 1970s and brought this influence into several bands he founded during the 1980s and 1990s. Today his focus is centered on crafting original Blues songs with strong melodies and memorable lyrics. The range of Mark’s material stretches the Blues beyond safe limits with a focus on “foot stompin', butt shakin'” music that is built for a live audience.
After five studio releases in the 1980s and 90s, Mark turned his focus to the Blues with “Life of Illusion” in 2009. The song “Boxcar Blues” became an instant classic and packs the dance floor at live performances every time! In 2011 Mark released the ambitious project “Built to Bust” which featured the hipster-swing classic “Do Lovin' Right” and the Chicago-Blues romp “Tough All Over”. 2014's “One Way Ride to the Blues” delivered a raucous Blues anthem “Life is Good When You’ve Got the Blues” and the gospel inspired classic “In This House”. The album “Playing Rough” (2016) was released in both digital and classic vinyl formats, as were later records “On a Roll” (2019) and “Nasty Business” (2023). The Mark Cameron Band has made hundreds of appearances at nightclubs, concerts and festivals throughout the country. MCB is consistently a top finisher in Blues competitions and was featured on the 2012 Minnesota Blues All-Stars album.
Known as a charismatic front man and soulful guitarist, Mark engages his audience directly in live performances and delivers his original compositions with a mix of sincerity, honesty and often a touch of humor. He is equally at home on acoustic or electrified instruments and retains writer/arranger credits on all of his recorded projects. Marks vocal range stretches from basement baritone to full-on growl and his original lyrics draw the listener in and paint a picture of the many worlds within the Blues.
