Mark Morton is a faithful son of Carrboro, North Carolina. Studying under the tutelage of John David, Mark developed his skills as a guitar player, playing with ensembles during the day and absconding to Atlanta after hours, seeking out opportunities to hone his performing and writing skills. His approach as an improviser flows and oscillates from tender to brutish while his choices as an accompanist engender lush harmonic landscapes.

One of his most cherished moments in his catalog is performing with Grammy nominated saxophonist Troy Roberts, supporting Roberts in a performance of Fred Sturm's arrangement of Radiohead's "Everything In Its Right Place".

Mark has opened for Apache Relay and Dirty Gov’ners.
