What PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

Chicago, ILOctober, 2021
"I knew every single song and tried desparately to sing along! Every time he started a new song, a memory came back. It was like going back to my childhood. Terrific music selection!"

Alsip, ILJanuary, 2022
"We were sitting in another part of the bar and thought they were playing Pandora. When we came around the corner, there was Mark and we were shocked. The sound is perfect, his voice is uncanny and he even adds guitars! It was crazy accurate. Can't wait to see him again!"
JOHN S.
Milwaukee, WIFebruary, 2022
"One of the coolest things about Mark's show is the diversity of material. Todd Rundgren (no one plays Todd), Ambrosia, Steely Dan, Little River Band. He played for three straight hours without a break. I have no idea how he does it, but he's so good you can't leave. He also has a QR of his setlist, so we could see who originally sang the songs. Honestly, he does them better than the originals. What a great time!"
Peter M.
Schaumburg, ILApril, 2022
"Are you kidding? I heard so many songs I grew up with I felt like I was 15 all over again! Mark is really funny. He talked to us after his performance for a bit and my cheeks still hurt from laughing! My favorite thing he said was "I don't do this for a living - I just love to sing". He missed his calling."
Kevin S.
Lake Geneva, WIJune, 2022
"We were warned about him. They told us you won't believe how good he is. You won't believe the songs he plays. You need to bring everyone. We did! We had four tables and 20 people and we sang every single song! I just love the music and can't wait to see him again. And we're bringing more people next time!
susan g.
Oak Park, IL August, 2022
"Mark said you'll enjoy three hours of your favorite memories, one song at a time. OMG - FACT! He played Falling In Love, RIght Down The Line, Brandy, and so many others I can't even remember. It was like I was in another dimension for his entire show. I LOVED IT! I highly recommend seeing him if you get the chance. You will be so impressed. We were!"

Mark O'Dette Goes Live With Solo Performances
After years of performances on some of the biggest stages across the Midwest, Mark O'Dette has added to his respected performance repertoire. "If given the choice, I'd always prefer to croon" says Mark, which is exactly what this is. Taking some of the absolute gems of the 70's (Atlanta Rhythm Section, Bobby Caldwell, The Commodores), the 80's (Bon Jovi, Ambrosia, Toto) and others makes for a great few hours of listener solace. The sonic clarity of the music, the strength of this great tenor's voice and the natural stage persona culminate in a worthwhile trip to Sing-Along City.
