Mark Campbell Quartet
new interpretations
UpcOming Shows:
The MC 3 and special guests - August 3rd, 2024 at Tyrant Studios.
Comprised of Mark Campbell (Roots Roundup, Zimbamoto, Space 9) on guitar and vocals, Jason Overy (Uzume Taiko, D.O.A.) on drums, Russell Scholberg (Pugs and Crows, Tony Wilson) on upright bass and Laurence Santos (Space 9) on tenor sax, the Mark Campbell Quartet play a mixture of original material, interpretations of modern tunes and funk/ jazz- experimental madness infused with latin and reggae flavours. Blues, rock and jazz collide against a framework of syncopated grooves that is the realization of the MC4.

THankful To Be playing…
In October 2021, the Mark Campbell Trio was formed to play together live after the long hiatus imposed by the Covid 19 pandemic. Made up of Mark Campbell (Roots Roundup, Zimbamoto, Space 9) on guitar and vocals, Jason Overy (Uzume Taiko, D.O.A.) on drums and Russell Scholberg ( Pugs and Crows, Tony Wilson) on upright bass, the trio play a mixture of original material, interpretations of modern tunes and funky jazz/experimental madness infused with latin and reggae flavours.

The mc3 is now the mc4!
Laurence Santos.
We are tickled pink that we have been joined by tenor saxophonist and keyboardist Laurence Santos ( Space 9). An accomplished composer and improvisor in his own right, Lzo Santos brings a wealth of experience and creativity to our sound. Now I can just play chords sometimes. Yes! But not quite as well as him.
