Obsessive Creative Disorder
Virtuoso guitarist and comic musical chameleon Mark Sepic has a repertoire which spans Jazz, Flamenco and World Roots  with references to the Blues, Rock and R&B he was raised on. As well as "unplugged" live playing, Mark records multiple tracks, creating full band and orchestral sounds in full view of the audience. This is not pre-recorded mush - this is live, "off the floor" recording, like a high flying musical trapeze artist, creating death-defying sound loops without a safety net! Think of it as "stand up" musical improv, with a record button. With his guitar, voice, harmonicas and exotic folk instruments from around the world, occasionally, getting audience volunteers to lend their car keys, goblets, magazines, etc., Mark records rhythms with these novel percussion toys, plays over the tracks, as a 'Stomp' style percussion backing and makes the donors famous for those 15 minutes. This adds a friendly, comic element and turns the crowd from spectators into stars, themselves.

"..high tech musical comedy aside, Mark is a brilliant guitarist with an obvious passion and reverence for all styles of real music. Mark's audiences leave the show with genuine smiles, their hearts a glow and their musical faith restored." Anti-Jive Chronicle (?)


"Touches the universal funny bone.... with a right hook to the left brain!"  Now Magazine
