Bio
Mark Iler is a gifted singer/songwriter, instrumental sideman, show host, and sound engineer from Washington State.
Originally from Detroit, Mark has lived in the Seattle area for over twenty years. He holds a degree in sound recording, and operates his own professional audio services company, Grey Hawk Productions. But Mark is equally at ease on the other side of the microphone.
He performs throughout the Northwest as a solo singer/songwriter, accompanying his wry ballads on guitar, tenor guitar, and harmonica. He is also in demand as a studio session player and live concert sideman, frequently appearing with the Kevin Jones Band, Constellations Crew, and Hank Cramer.
Mark generously shares his time as emcee and producer for the Victory Music musicians co-op, hosting open mikes and song circles throughout the Puget Sound area.
He has recorded 10 CDs with Hank Cramer, and they are now collaborating on their 11th project. The work has earned critical acclaim. Heartland Public Radio named their version of My Sweet Wyoming Home the #5 Cowboy Song of 2007. Texas Public Radios Random Routes chose two of their songs Della and The Dealer and Two of A Kind for their Top Twenty of 2007. The Western Music Association has nominated their Way Out West CD as the best Traditional Album of 2007.
