Mark Banks is a soulful singer/songwriter worth watching. - Atlanta Journal Constitution
Songs From The Rooftop is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Mark Banks. He writes from the sacred spiritual connection deep within all of us. He seemed to transfer the inherent power of their music from soulful vocals and grassroots gospel. The resulting 14 songs are a reflection on good will and personal character.
