Mark Silvia Jr. has been playing music since the age of four.
He started with drums and saxophone in elementary school and by the time he got to high school he was
proficient in guitar, bass guitar and piano, as well. Mark attended Berklee College of Music as a
Professional Music Major. He's been gigging in bands since he was seventeen and has played with local bands
such as the blues band 'The Bottom Line' as the lead guitarist. In the top 40 band 'The Buzz',
he played guitar and sang lead vocals. The well established wedding band 'Straight Up'
featured Mark on bass, sax and guitar with some vocal duties. In 2002-2004, he played bass
guitar in the award winning Boston top 40 rock band '2nd Nature'. Since then he has played
with 'Blame Friday', a pop cover band and most currently with 'One Track Mind', a similar
cover band. Mark taught at Stoughton Music School from 2000 to 2006 as a guitar, bass guitar,
drums, piano, vocal and woodwinds instructor. He also established the Stoughton Music Center
student Jazz / Rock Band. In 2006, he left to pursue a desire to work in the medical field and
became an EMT working in the Brockton, MA 911 system. His love of music and teaching music has
harkened him back to Stoughton Music Center where he intends to have as much success in the future as he
had in the past. |
