Mark Fehrenbach, Bass, is a classically trained vocalist and instrumentalist with a passion for vocal performance. As a fairly recent self-taught singer/songwriter, composer and arranger, he's come to appreciate those who have had these skills for years as well.

Listeners have compared his vocal tone to singers like Robert Goulet, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby.

He began writing music as a teen without performing anything publicly. Recently however he released recordings of original music, lyrics and arrangements for two songs which he also sang, mixed and mastered in the studio. "Again," his new ballad, was inspired by a text message he received from his girlfriend early in their relationship. It released on Valentine's Day weekend 2023 and also has an instrumental version of the song which will be released on his next LP, Come Fly With Me. He also wrote the lyrics, music and arrangement of his first original Christmas single in 2021, "The Gift of the Unwrapping." Additionally, he has written a yet-to-be-named-and-published brass fanfare, which stands on it's own, but begs to become part of a larger orchestral work.

For 9 seasons he performed at concerts, dances and festivals before live audiences with The John Trapani Big Band of Canton, Ohio. He crooned tunes like "New York, New York," "Unforgettable” and "Get Me to the Church on Time." He also sang charts like "Chattanooga Choo Choo” and "Juke Box Saturday Night" with The Canton Connection vocal jazz quartet.

Believe it or not, when this bass first learned to sing, he began as a soprano. Impossible? Read on!
