Drive out to your local dance hall or watering hole on any given Saturday night and it’s just the sort of place you might find Mark Monaco and his Roadhouse Band. As Keith Howerton of Americana Music Times says, "His high-energy shows and brand of country-rock are truly unique and genuine. No one walks away from a Mark Monaco show with any doubt that what they had just witnessed was a guy and a band who gave it their all"

Mark Monaco has been honing his craft for most of his life. He attended Nashville’s renowned Music Business School at Belmont University and interned at MCA Records on Music Row at age 19. He later earned a Business Marketing Degree from Texas Tech University in 2001 and released his first album, the critically acclaimed American Highway, shortly thereafter. Monaco, who does all the writing, producing, and plays many of the tracks himself on his albums, has continued to tour throughout Texas and the South, building a loyal following and invaluable radio support on both American Highway and its follow-up, Alternate Frequency, landing him on the Texas Music and Music Review charts.

Now with the release of his third studio album, Overdrive, Monaco continues to deliver his unique brand of hard-hitting Texas Country. As Americana Roots music reviewer Kyle Drescher put it, “Mark’s latest album is like ZZ TOP, Dwight Yoakam, and Creedence Clearwater Revival got together to make one kick-ass album!” and rock music legend Tony Kaye (YES) called it “a gem.”
