Mark Margolies has been passionately playing guitar since age 13, learning songs straight from the radio and shaping his sound as a mostly self-taught musician. By 1985, he stepped fully into the professional music world, building a reputation for a style that merges blues and jazz with clarity, feeling, and a relaxed groove.

The jazzy vibe pops up on “I’m Lost Without You” by Memphis Slim, with a way cool groove. Anyone that covers the late Florida based bluesman Rock Bottom (David Clark York) is aces in my book.
