MARK DANNELLS

I am primarily a touring/recording musician, but I have been narrating audiobooks since June of 2020.

To date, I have completed 4 commercial audiobooks that are listed in the experience section.

My current band Yacht Rock Revue has spent the last 12 years building a huge following, and has become one of the most successful cover bands in the US. We released an all original record in early 2020 that not only cracked the Billboard 200 chart, but was featured twice in Rolling Stone in early 2020 to favorable reviews. Unfortunately, due to the current COVID 19 crisis, we had to cut our tour short in March and are awaiting the time when it is safe to continue performing.

Recently, I have been involved with creating a guitar themed web-series called “Monkeyboy’s Six Strings of Smooth”. I not only do the audio recording, and mixing for the show, I also am responsible for all of the video editing.

From 2017 to 2018, I co-hosted a guitar themed radio show called “BGX Radio Hour” on the Atlanta terrestrial station AM 1690 until the station shut down due to being bought out by another company. Not only did I co-host, but I edited the show and booked most of the interviews and performances. This experience let me focus on learning how to effectively use my voice in a broadcast situation.

I also have a professional home recording studio that I use to create my own music and work with other artists. I have produced hundreds of recordings over the years, including the audio for an Atlanta Fox Affiliate commercial that won an EMMY in 2000 for “Outstanding Collaborative Achievement: Television Craft Excellence/Composers”. I can also create custom music clips in any number of styles if a narration calls for it.
