MAMA Wins! - May 12, 2008

Thanks to your votes and support I was fortunate enough to bring home two MAMA's at Saturday's Madison Area Music Awards Show for "Pop Album of the Year" (Permanent Ink) and "Pop Artist of the Year"!
I need to make sure that I take this time to thank those I missed on Saturday...

A big thanks to all the musicians that played on the record; Julia McConahay, Matt Rodgers, Bob Boyd, Kieth Pulvermacher, Tim Walen, Al Falaschi, Jon Schipper, and Courtney Larson. I also need to thank Eric Hester, Mike Zirkel, and Brandon Mason for helping me put everything together in the studio! Also a big thank you to my band including Jaye Barbeau, Dan Kennedy, and Ken Keeley. And thank you to all of you who voted and supported me this past year! I see some exciting things on the horizon and I greatly appreciate all you've done for me.

Sincerely,

Mark
