For the past 30
years, Mark has been writing and performing his own original songs as well
as those of other artists such as James Taylor, John Denver, John Prine
and Gordon Lightfoot, Jimmy Buffett, Michael Martin Murphey, Jim Croce -
just to name a few. Mark has performed across the U.S. in venues like
the State Fair of Virginia in Richmond, where he has been a perennial
favorite for the last 10 years, the Rocky Mountain town of Aspen,
Colorado, where he is invited to sing each year at various events in a
week-long tribute to the late John Denver, and at coffee houses, festivals
and other stages across the country.
Mark's solo
performances have taken him from Washington state to Pennsylvania (and
points in between), and most recently across the pond to England. In
addition to his solo appearances, Mark has toured the U.S. with the very
popular "Friends
With You" band for five years.
In 2002, Mark was
nominated for FOLK ARTIST of the YEAR by Cincinnati's CITY BEAT Magazine.
Mark continues to perform on a regular basis in and around the greater
Cincinnati area, most recently appearing on "City Nights", a local cable
program.
A unique solo performer, Mark has released
seven CD's in the past ten years consisting of almost all original
material. Titles include: "Always in the Mood for You", "Times Like
These", "Log Cabin Christmas", "Hourglass" and "Mark Cormican - Live at
the Music Cafe". In October 2007 Mark released his John Denver Tribute
CD "One Fine Autumn Day". "Heading West", Mark's latest CD, was released
in October of 2008. It communicates his love for his wife, the West and
his dedication to preserving Grizzly Bear habitat through his involvement
in Vital Ground. A portion of the proceeds of "Heading West" will benefit
the Vital Ground Organization.
