Mark Williams

Mark Williams has over 40 years' professional experience as a guitarist, teacher, recording artist and composer, and it's demonstrated on every performance. Career highlights include live radio broadcasts from Los Angeles and concert performances with the Mansfield Symphony Orchestra, as well as extensive work in night clubs, for fashion shows and wedding ceremonies throughout Ohio. Mark currently appears regularly at the Buckeye Lake Yacht Club and the John Glenn International Airport.

Mark performs as a soloist on the 7 string electric-acoustic guitar custom built by legendary guitar maker J Thomas Davis. The tones of the instrument extend well into the bass range.

Mark was featured on 6 and 7 string guitars as well as an arranger on saxophone legend Chuz Alfred's recording A COLLECTION OF JAZZ FAVORITES FOR THE YOUNG AT HEART, of which over 16,000 units were sold.

Long considered Central Ohio's finest solo guitarist, Mark Williams creates the perfect musical environment for all occasions!
