Outlier Profile - Mark Loebl
back to Who Are These Guys?
| |
| Mark L. is the newest member of The Outliers, serving as one of our two alternating bass players. There is little that Mark hasn't done or can't do. When it comes to playing bass and blending into the Outliers' sound, Mark's work ethic is unparalleled, voraciously studying every nuance of the sound and then adding his unique flavor and style. Mark maintains a vast repertoire of songs in his head (and in his little notebook), yet always finds a way to be innovative with our tunes, in the true tradition of The Outliers. He also adds baritone and bass harmony vocals to the already rich Outlier vocal sound. Mark spends his days working with electronic prototype devices for various consumer and business applications. | |
