Mark Carter Productions

Dear Friends, Fans, and Music Lovers

It’s been a busy summer and lot’s of gigs! I hope you all had a good one.

I’m currently writing new material for tthe next CD. I have always loved Jazz Guitar and the funkier side of that world. I’m looking forward to the next one…Stay tuned !

The holidays are around the corner and I always play my share of Holiday parties as a solo or band leader.If you are interested in a booking let me know. December will be here before we know it.

I’m still teaching guitar, from beginners to more advanced players. I currently have a student that has been with me 11 years and is playing in his first professional band. One never knows where the love of music will take you.

Thats it for this month. Private gigs have been filling my calendar the past few years and I’m grateful.

Hopefully we will see each other for the holidays.

Stay Blessed……Mark

Hi Friends, Fans and Music Lovers

Happy New Year...
I'd like to share a bit of the holidays with you.

I had time to visit my son and his family for Thanksgiving in Utah. 
Play some guitar and sing some Christmas songs, 
read some Superman to Simon 
and watch the tree lighting in his little town. 
His daughter and wife are the best cooks and I'm a good eater :)

Christmas was spent with my daughters
family in beautiful Claremont CA.
My daughter never asks for any gifts at Christmas, 
not since she started her own family, 
but this year her childhood kicked in and she asked for a Rainbow Brite Doll
(popular in the 80's). She got one from her son and one from me !

For those that follow my latest recording "Coast To Coast" I have some good news
Here we are in the first week of 2026 and my tune "LA Hustle" ended up in the 
#1 spot on Urbaninfluencer.com. 
The truth is,there are many stations around the world playing this kind of music 
over the internet, and this is just one...But I'll take it !!
Thank you Urbaninfluencer.com 

Thats about it for now..
I hope to see you all soon
Stay Blessed, .. .....Mark
