Mark Davis

Hello friends! My dear old friend, former soundman, and tour manager Mark Davis worked in concert halls and record stores from 1977 until he retired in 2020. His brilliant ears, clear headedness, and wonderful personality kept him on the road for 40 years. When Mark wasn't touring with bands like HUM, Paramore, Unified Theory, and many more, he worked in record stores, sharing his love and deep knowledge of music with people. We have a great conversation about growing up in Missouri, his first encounters with music that made him want to be around it for the rest of his life, his first record store job, getting into running sound working for cover bands, his decades long friendship with Rush, running sound for bands in 90's and 2000's, when our bands, Goudie and Unified Theory toured together in the year 2000, losing his wife over 20 years ago, finding new love after years of grief, moving to Tucson from Kansas City, his thoughts on streaming, and much more. I had a great time hearing mark's story. I'm sure you will too. Let's get down!
