Mark Sample - Saxophone

As a child, Mark experienced music while listening to his father play stride style piano. His desire to play an instrument like his father influenced his decision to play the saxophone. Mark was fortunate to study with woodwind instructor Keith Felch, who made an impact is his style of music. Additional influences include David Sanborn, Pete Christlieb, Maceo Parker and Blue Lou Marini. Mark prefers to play in large bands with dynamic sound. After listening to Blue Lou Marini with the Blues Brothers live in the 1980's, he knew someday he would be in a similar band. Boxcar 7 has finally given him that chance.
