Mark DuBerry is a guitarist and composer / songwriter from. He plays and writes music which is a hybrid of electronic-ambient, progressive rock, classical and jazz-fusion. He has always been drawn to music which combines and blends different genres as he finds this sort of creative fusion the most interesting. Artists like Yes, Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Weather Report, The Yellowjackets, David Sylvian, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, Brian Eno and Pete Namlook are among his main influences. So he has given his particular style of music the name 'Electro-acoustic ambient rock with a jazz flavour'. Mark was a classical guitarist during the early phase of his career, playing concert and other venues in and around Dublin. Later on, he progressed to jazz-fusion guitar and composition and wrote music for jazz big bands and other groups in both London and Dublin. Among his projects at this time, he produced his first CD entitled "Escalate". The first track "Freefall" won an award of merit in the Unisong International Song Contest in 1998. He also released an album of "New Age music with depth" entitled "Openings", which was a collaboration with David Hammond. Mark was also lead guitarist in a Steely Dan tribute band which played gigs in and around Dublin for a number of years. He is currently concentrating on gigging and promoting his 2nd album "Head Room" as well as composing music for his next project. Gigs have been in and around Dublin to date but Mark is presently negotiating to perform in various suitable venues around Ireland. The album has been played over recent months on Ireland’s RTE radio by John Creedon on Late Date and Dynamic Independent Radio WDYN in New York.
