“Mark Conklin is a musical monster. Not only does he possess a terrific voice — his tunes are beautifully crafted, cleverly written and instantly likeable. The man’s got a seemingly inexhaustible supply of great licks, memorable phrases and terrific melodies which suck you in the first time you hear them. He’s one of those gifted songwriters that can actually sell all of his goods entirely by his lonesome. You’re in for a treat if you happen to catch this guy’s work — and make the effort. You’re gonna leave humming a whole new set of tunes.” - James Longo, V.P. of Performing Arts, Watchung Arts Center
