Artists and times are subject to change

Mark Mraz has been a public school music educator and working musician since the early 1980s. After earning both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Music from the University of Minnesota, he spent 34 years teaching in the Burnsville (MN) School District, mentoring hundreds of young singers and musicians and earning numerous honors and awards along the way.

As a performer, Mark has played with a wide range of Twin Cities bands, including The Mraz Brothers, Raggs, The Mill City Players, Mother’s Hot Dish, Sloppy Joels, Zeppo, and Super Tramps, and has long been a first-call substitute for many others. His musical influences span multiple genres and generations, drawing inspiration from artists such as Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Dave Brubeck, Ben Folds, James Taylor, and Frank Sinatra.

Since retiring from teaching in 2016, Mark has focused his energy on writing and performing, working primarily as a solo artist in pubs, wineries, resorts, restaurants, and country clubs. He has also served as a church musician for more than 30 years.
