| MARK KERR IN THE BLUES HALL OF FAME!
On March 13th 2007 Award Winning Blues/Rock Guitarist Mark Kerr, was inducted into the National Heritage Foundation Blues Hall of Fame. Mark is the Ambassador to the blues for the state of Louisiana. Mark Kerr of Knoxville, Tennessee. Now re-located in Louisiana, never found success beyond his grasp. From the age of twelve his course was clear, and from his earliest days in music he has built bridges that have connected him, not to his peers alone, but to the world at large. Mark picked up the guitar at the age of twelve and before long, he was receiving recognition for his musical abilities. Where as many kids at twelve years of age may be content to watch television or to hang out with others of their own age, Mark had one singularly focused ambition. He wanted to become a pro-musician. And so devoted was he to this pursuit, he would often fall to sleep at night with his guitar "strapped on." By the time he graduated from high school, he would be rewarded for his ambition. Mark would eventually play with Percy Sledge and Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Curtis Mayfield's Impressions. After thirteen years of touring, Mark attended Northwestern State University where he studied music theory, while working very diligently on his jazz, blues and rock skills. Mark was nominated for Musician of the Year in 2006 by The Academy of Texas Music, for his guitar work on One Drink Away From The Blues. Mark was inducted into the National Heritage Foundation Blues Hall of Fame on March 13th 2007. He is the Ambassador to the Blues for the State of Louisiana. Mark's CD has been aired on 300 plus radio stations worldwide. And has charted in the top 25 on many of these stations. Mark finished in the top 1500 of the 2007 Billboard World Songwriting Competition out of 5,500 entries. Mark's title cut, One Drink Away From The Blues, finished as the second place winner in the 2007 International Songwriting Competition. Mark achieved these great accomplishments as an independent artist, in a very short period of time, since the release of his CD One Drink Away From The Blues. As Mark tells it, "I want to continue to be a positive influence in the independent arena." "And a role model, for all independents to see that through hard work, and a positive attitude, most anything can be achieved." This profile was made at www... |
