Hi folks, I'm Mark Wridt, aka, 4Tell.  I used to be a Toastmaster and when I became a professional musician my friends insisted on calling me this, so it became a thing :).  I'm a former Astronomy teacher and have been a software engineer for many years.  I truly love music.. it's what I'm here to do, so I hope you can come catch me live soon!  I have many songs not recorded, so that you can only hear them live!

 

It's not in my benefit to spend money on recording in today's state of the music business.  

​

I play original music but also give my very best interpretations to these various artists that I love.  I consider my song choices as key to my success each night with the audience, and they speak to me, and many others.
