"Don't judge it. Just let it be, and see where it goes. 'Cause that's the whole thing about judging your own material - terrible idea." - Mark Oblinger

From high-energy anthems to deeply introspective ballads, Mark’s songs are a soulful, eclectic blend of diverse musical textures, inspired by icons including Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and current influences such as Gregory Alan Isakov and Maggie Rogers. Mark’s lyrics paint vivid pictures of both personal loss and rebirth—and the courage to stand ones ground when left without easy choices.

“Riveting and haunting songwriting, flawless musicianship, masterful production, and soaring above it all the golden throat of Mark Oblinger.”—3-time Grammy winning producer Tom Wasinger

Mark’s national performing roots include stints with chart topping country rock stalwarts Pure Prairie League (“Amie”) and Firefall (“Cinderella,” “You Are the Woman”). From there, Mark’s had the good fortune to work with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield, Poco) Garth Brooks, Amy Grant, John Oates, Jeff Hanna (Dirt Band) and more.

A 5-time Emmy winning producer/composer with multiple works featured on the Oprah Winfrey Show, Mark was a 2012 Grammy Finalist for his Children’s Jazz Symphony JumpinJazz Kids—A Swinging Jungle Tale, featuring the great Al Jarreau.

Since 2015, Mark’s toured the country with Indie/Folk powerhouse Rebecca Folsom, where he began to write and showcase the songs that would become his own High Water Line.

Released July 15th, 2019, and followed by a sold-out concert at the Gordon Gamm Theater in Boulder Colorado on August 9th, High Water Line has garnered a host of national reviews, press and radio airplay on both commercial and noncommercial Americana and AAA formats.

Joel T. Jordan is the Founder and President of Synchtank, a cloud based software as a service (SaaS) platform that broadcast, film, music, and TV companies use to manage their compliance, licensing, rights and metadata, maximize revenue, and efficiently organize marketing and sales processes.

Synchtank has hundreds of creative media clients from top music publishers and record labels to composers and producers, distributors, managers, advertising agencies, film and TV production companies, broadcast networks, and more, supporting some of the best-known catalogs and largest brands in the world.

Over 25 years ago, Joel started well-known punk and hardcore label, Watermark, with his identical twin brother, Jason, releasing vinyl records out of his parents’ South Jersey basement. This later developed into a diversified master catalog and a prolific joint venture publishing company with Rykomusic. Today he continues to enthusiastically sign artists to his new publishing company, and runs his collectible digital and vinyl-only indie labels.

Joel still firmly sticks to the DIY ethos of his early years by enabling content creators and rights owners to be entirely self-reliant in the management, marketing, licensing and exploitation of their catalogs under their own unique brands.

Clients include Disney, Sony Pictures, British Telecom and BT Sport, VICE, CD Baby, Music Sales, WarnerMedia, Warner Music Group, Cutting Edge, peermusic, Position Music, and many others.

Michael Donaldson is best known in the music industry as Astralwerks/Virgin Records recording artist Q-Burns Abstract Message. Under this name, Michael wrote and produced four acclaimed albums and performed around the world. With Q-BAM songs licensed to the likes of Sex and the City, BMW, Spike Lee’s The 25th Hour, and the video game Test Drive 6, Michael fortuitously learned the ins-and-outs of music licensing. He used this knowledge to raise the licensing profile of Eighth Dimension Records, an influential label on the US electronic music scene that Michael co-founded in 1994. In 2011, Eighth Dimension transformed into 8DSync, allowing Michael to capitalize on his taste-making prowess, licensing expertise, and access to a distinctive and inspiring music catalog. He continues to expand his roles in music publishing, content licensing, and industry consultancy. Michael also writes about music’s place in the 21st century on his thought-provoking blog: www.8sided.blog
