Hello, I am a professional piano/keyboard player. I was born and grew up in Amarillo, Texas. I grew up with an old piano that we had in our dining room and can never remember a day that I was not climbing onto the bench and playing it.
By age 16, I was able to go on the road with a band my mom had at that time called the Debbie Burch Band. That got me into the music business. With a combination of mom's band and a couple of other touring cover bands I played with over a few year period I felt I was ready to give Nashville a shot.
I moved to Nashville about six years ago and have truly enjoyed it here. I really have enjoyed the touring and studio work the I have had the opportunity to do. I have been able to play for some very talented artists such as Billy Currington, Joe Nichols, Rebecca Lynn Howard, Mark Chesnutt, Kevin Denney, Tanya Tucker, Buddy Jewell, Vern Gosdin, and Mark Wills and have learned a lot from them.
These artists have given me the opportunity to continue fulfilling goals from playing the legendary Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium, to tons of national TV appearances and syndicated radio shows, as well as enormous sold out venues like the Nashville LP Fields Stadium. Now in 2008 I'm not touring as much as I used to but now I am mostly doing session work in Nashville. I have found that recording in the studio is truly my passion. I feel very grateful to get to perform with such talented musicians and make a living doing what I love to do.
Thank you for stopping by!
Mark Burch
