Grand Rapids' native son Mark Lavengood has toured the regional, national, and international music circuits for the better part of two decades. Best known for his dynamic slide guitar playing, Mark prefers recording and performing music that cuts right through to the human condition. He wears a multitude of hats — multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter, band leader, teacher, producer and studio owner, in-demand sideman, emeritus member of Lindsay Lou & the Flatbellys, source of motivational energy, hobbyist massage therapist, Spanish translator and idea generator. Lavengood (affectionately known globally as "Huggy Bear") employs his skill sets to engage with communities through song and voice and collaboration. Want the full story? The press kit below has it.
Mark splits his time between The Bear Den, his own studio, and playing select performances. Under his own banner, Bear Mark Productions, he produces his own music and records and produces other artists — tracking, production and remote dobro sessions. If you need overdub work, or if you're a music supervisor working in sync licensing, reach out: he writes custom songs, and his full back catalogue is available.
