Mark Walsh - I Can Take You There

Mark Walsh was a smooth jazz guitarist from Pennsylvania. Born on August 31, 1961 in Sellersville, PA, Mark Walsh was born to Thomas Walsh and Pauline Walsh (Troxel). Walsh attended Bucks County Community College and Temple University, where he graduated with a music degree in 1984. When Walsh was 36, he got his lucky break in 1997 when Anne Gress, then program director for then Smooth Jazz station WJJZ 106.1 in Philadelphia (Now Rumba 106.1) heard the album "From the Top", which was released in Mid-August of that year, played by a station colleague in his office. Gress asked about who the performer was, only to find that Walsh was a local artist. The committee that picked what WJJZ aired gave the disc a listen and decided to add several cuts to the playlist, which was unusual for the station since they haven't played unknown, local artists in two years prior. But Gress liked the music and having Walsh's music played on WJJZ helped his music get airplay on other smooth jazz stations across the U.S. during that time. Walsh made most of his living playing guitar and giving guitar lessons. As a musician, Walsh tried to be versatile, playing rock gigs and straight-ahead jazz gigs, as well as working in more commercial genres, like smooth jazz. As for recording "From The Top", Walsh recorded much of the music in a home studio using a Mac computer running ProTools music software to mix, edit and process sounds. He then went into Sybersound Studios, located in Green Lane, Montgomery County, to complete them. Walsh played acoustic and electric guitars. Steve Graham produced, engineered, mixed and added the keyboard and drum programming. Ron Kerber played tenor sax on several songs, including the cover of Vanessa William's song "Dreamin'", which he played sax on William's version as well. Jan Stevens played flute on several songs including a cover of George Michael's "Jesus to a Child". And Kjell Benner played bass on a few songs as well. Five of the recordings were covers, and five were originals that Walsh wrote, including track 1, "Can You Dig It", which was used heavily by radio programmers at the time. Along with releasing that sole album, Walsh would play live, local gigs and he was also a teacher at Fretz Music Center in Souderton, PA where he resided for over 35 years. Mark Walsh sadly passed away on June 17, 2019 at the age of 57. The cause of his death hadn't been reported. He was predeceased by his parents, Thomas Walsh and Pauline Walsh (Troxel), survived by his brothers, Paul T. Walsh (Dorothea) of Telford and Gregory J. Walsh (Sharon M.) of Sellersville, and also survived by seven nieces and nephews.
