Mark has been playing music since age ten and grew up
in Uniontown, Pennsylvania in a family where music was a
part of every day life. There was a big music room with a
huge stereo and tons of records to listen to the latest hits,
plus a piano, Farfisa organ, drum kit, bass, 6-string
acoustic, 6-string electric, 12-string electric/acoustic,
several amps, an autoharp, clarinet, flute, microphones,
two reel-to-reel tape decks and an encouraging
atmosphere for friends to drop by and listen, play and
create music. His very first band came about in 1964 with
best friends Larry Boyd on guitar and Dean Riggar on
drums, learning songs by The Beatles and anything they
could figure out from the British invasion.
In August 1966 the 3 teenagers took the train alone from
Connellsville to Philadelphia (were our parents CRAZY ?)
to see The Beatles in concert at JFK stadium during the
Fab Fours final year of touring. Mark's influences have
always included The Beatles.....plus....The Rolling Stones,
The Mama’s & The Papa’s, The Byrds and the many
artists of Motown.
During high school, Mark was the bass player for
The Ovations and later while at Penn State, the lead
singer and keyboard player for United and United 2. He
went on to Salem College to major in music before moving
to San Diego to jam around southern California during his
"hippie" phase. Returning to Pennsylvania he taught
private music lessons for beginner piano and guitar
students and also worked with the Kawai Piano Company
in Pittsburgh.
His current equipment list includes a Roland Digital Piano,
Previa Keyboard, Alesis Synthesizer, Fender Stratacoustic
Electric Guitar, Yamaha Acoustic Guitar, Ukulele, Crate
Amp and Alesis Keyboard Amp plus a Cello, Console
Piano and a Baby Grand Piano at his home.
Mark has jammed and played with a number of local
bands including The Airplane Graveyard, Stereo Vibe and
Crossroads that preceded the creation of The Woo Hoo
Band.

ANDERS VISCONTI
Lead Guitar & Vocals
New York native Anders has an eclectic musical
background. He began playing trombone at age 10, and
guitar at 15. By 17 he was playing both, part-time in
local jazz and swing bands. In high school he was
involved in several metal and grunge acts, and was
playing local bars and attending every open blues jam
he could find. By the mid 90's, he was expanding into
progressive rock projects, ska/punk bands, and even
produced a techno album.
The original projects and bizarre experimentation was
great fun and experience, but by now Anders has
simplified, and gotten back to the classic rock and blues
roots of the music he loves. He has played in several
rock and oldies cover bands over the last few years,
finally settling in the Pittsburgh area and finding a place
with The Woo Hoo Band.
Anders' favorite music includes everything from Blood
Sweat and Tears to Frank Zappa. His playing style is
influenced by rock greats like Jimi Hendrix and Eric
Clapton, as well as progressive artists like Steve Vai.
In his spare time, he still likes to experiment, and is
currently working on a solo album inspired by his
experiences in all styles of music.
