MARK LOWE
Piano, Organ, Synth, & all keys
Mark has been playing music since age ten and grew up
in Uniontown, Pennsylvania with a family where music
was a part of every day. There was a music room with a
huge stereo, tons of records, a piano, drums, guitars, 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 good friends Larry Boyd on
guitar and Dean Riggar on drums, learning songs by The
Beatles and anything from the British invasion.
In 1966 the three teenagers took the train alone from
Connellsville to Philadelphia (were our parents CRAZY ?)
and saw The Beatles in concert at JFK staduium during
the Fab Fours final year of touring. Mark's influences have
always included The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The
Mama’s & The Papa’s, The Byrds and most of Motown.
In 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. Returning
to Pennsylvania he taught private lessons for beginner
piano and guitar students and worked with a piano
company in Pittsburgh.
His current equipment list includes a Roland Digital Piano,
Previa keyboard, Alesis Synthesizer, Fender Stratacoustic
Electric Guitar, Yamaha Acoustic Guitar, a Ukulele, Crate
Amp and Alesis Keyboard Amp and his new Cello.
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.
