Mark Thornton and the Sidekicks

Mark Thornton is a multi-talented guitar player, producer, and engineer based in Nashville, Tennessee. He began in the ‘80s, in the LA country western scene, playing at the famous Palomino Club and the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum. Mark was the guitar player for guitar legend Jerry Reed, recording and touring with him throughout the country between 1997 and up until his death in 2008. While versatile in his playing, his true strength lies in classic fingerstyle guitar (as well as a variety of classic country styles) and being a master of tasteful simplicity and tone. He currently plays in and around Nashville with his band “The Sidekicks”, and spends the rest of his time recording, producing, and engineering great records.
