Mark Bono

When a venue's noise limit rules out a full band, the Mark Bono Duo is a handy middle ground. Mark sings and plays guitar, and a drummer joins in on an acoustic or electronic kit, whichever suits the room. Everything is played live, with vocal harmonies and guitar tones over a solid beat, so it sounds bigger than two people. They can sit back for diners early in the evening and then push harder once people want to dance.
