Mark Hatt- 10.3.25

Mark was born and raised in Midland, Michigan. He began his interest in music at 14 and sold his baseball cards to buy his first guitar.
His biggest influences were Garth Brooks and George Strait with very traditional roots. He started writing songs at 15 and recorded them on a dual cassette recorder that could overdub recordings to stack harmonies. Mark started with a gospel band gig playing bass at 15 for about 2 1/2 years. He later played bass in a country/rock cover band prior to moving to Tennessee in May 1995. He started working in the mailroom in the AT&T tower (aka) "batman building" shortly after playing several evenings on the corner of Broadway and 2nd Ave making enough tips to pay a month's rent. Eventually he started playing writers nights at the Broken Spoke and won a vocal contest that went with a band on a 3 week tour to Germany in 1998. With Strait being a huge influence, he was thought to be his son as he sat on George’s Fan Fare booth table and sang (1998). He didn’t meet George but he was given one of his tour jackets that day. He had the opportunity to play bass for Sammy Kershaw in 2013. Since 2018, he’s played full time downtown Nashville and out of town both solo and with a band. He is still writing songs and has original songs on Spotify and most other platforms.
