To say that Mark Alan Wade is an eclectic performer understates the
acoustic explosion of music his concerts ignite. Mark’s unique edge
comes from growing up in a "bluegrass" family with classical training in
trumpet, piano & guitar. From his childhood piano lessons to receiving
his Bachelor of Music in trumpet & piano, Mark continues to push his
musical limits by completing his Masters Degree in trumpet performance
and Doctor of Musical Arts (DMA) degree at The Ohio State University. The result of this musical immersion is a
National Hammered Dulcimer Champion who is equally at home at a front
porch jam session or playing a dulcimer concerto with a symphony
orchestra.
 Mark’s classical training has earned him the ear of such notables
as President George Bush Sr., Ross Perot and the U.S. Secretary of
Defense, William S. Cohen. In fact, this summer Mark performed with
the Classical Music Festival Orchestra on trumpet for sixteen days
in Eisenstadt, Austria, Sopron, Hungary and Bratislava, Slovakia. In
his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, Mark has a studio full of students
of all levels, from rank beginners to published professionals. Mark
has personally released 6 CDs and has published a successful series of instructional books for Hammered Dulcimer."
Mark lives in Akron, OH, with his wife and their two sons.
