Mark D. Conklin
A Few Kind Words

INDUSTRY TESTIMONIALS

“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 Carlton Longo, VP of Performing Arts, Watchung Arts Center, Watchung, NJ 

"You are a mighty, mighty, talent, Mark D Conklin!"
 - Angel Kaset, SESAC Country Songwriter of the Year 

"I’ve been to a lot of CD Release parties and this was by far the best one from start to finish!”
 - Melanie Theil, Program Director, WNTI Radio

“I really enjoyed the event and Mark's performance. I was mesmerized. It’s a night I will remember for a very long time. Mark is the real thing and one of the rare souls for whom the proverb ‘Happy is the man who finds his work’ definitely applies!”
 - Frank Mustac, Managing Editor, Messenger-Gazette
