About the Instructor
Mark Delaney is a native of Maryland and began playing the banjo seriously at the age of eleven under the tutelage of his Kentucky born grandfather. Not long after, he was playing professionally in regional bands in the Washington, D.C. area including many years with Arnold Hobbs and Partners at Partners Two club in Centreville, Va. Mark’s inventive approach to Scruggs style playing made him a favorite with bluegrass audiences in the Washington-Baltimore area.
Mark is currently a member of Danny Paisley & the Southern Grass. He has worked with Randy Waller & the Country Gentlemen, Norman Wright and The Travelers, Wayne Tayloe, Badly Bent, The Patuxent Partners, and The Good Deal Bluegrass Band. In addition to performing and recording Mark teaches banjo and mandolin. Highlights in Mark’s career include appearances with bluegrass legends Charlie Waller and Buzz Busby, as well as recording with Mike Auldridge and Frank Wakefield.
