There are those musicians who can't help but write about what they know... what they have experienced. Mark Brut certainly fits that mold. Hailing from Philadelphia and now based in Denver, Brut also spent the past 12 years in the south, mainly in Atlanta and the great music town of Athens, GA. He maintains strong roots to his hometown and has become entrenched in the Colorado music community, but also absorbed much of the music and culture that the south has to offer. Mark's writing continually touches on the same subjects...how your experiences mold you as a person, finding hope and dealing with disappointment and trying to make sense of "what you do and what you see." Songs such as "Never Been to North Dakota", "High Country" and "Rest Stop" certainly fall in these categories. Beyond the songs, Mark's strength lies in his guitar playing, as a rhythmic and melodic acoustic player to an expressive electric player. While performing solo acoustic or electric in a band setting, Brut's passion for life bleeds over into his playing. The diversity of his influences also is evident as you hear him play. Brut is also powerful as a cover artist, drawing from many different artists and making the songs his own. Mark Brut plays both solo acoustic and fronts the Denver-based band The Sneaky Bastards. "like the first time...I return again..."
