Eclectic Soundtrax Podcast - #37 w/ Mark Thomas - a podcast by Skunk Manhattan & Victor Ramos

On this episode we chat with Nashville based guitarist, engineer, producer and owner of Hit Garage Records, Mark Thomas. Originally from Beaumont, TX, Mark was influenced by such Texas guitar greats as Dimebag Darrell and Stevie Ray Vaughn. After a stint in College Station, TX he  moved to Hollywood, CA to attend Musicians Institute and pursue a serious career in music. An aspiring producer as well as guitarist, Mark shifted to an MI recording program after completing GIT, further honing his protools skills and learning to work on professional consoles. Upon graduation, he began working first as a janitor and then in various administrative capacities at the school as he further honed his craft working around LA.

After over a decade working at the school Mark and wife/fellow MI alumni, Char Nicols relocated to Nashville, TN. Here Mark's duties have been split between recording and producing bands and touring as a guitarist, backing vocalist and band leader with several artists including Two Way Crossing, Jason Crabb, Tracy Lawrence, Manny Cabo and Angie Johnson from The Voice, and many more. He has shared the stage with such country legends as Reba McEntire, Martina McBride and Travis Tritt as well as rock icons like Zakk Wylde. For a more concise list visit Hit Garage Records.
