A true Texas troubadour, who's dedicated his life to sharing songs and stories across the Lone Star State, and beyond, Mark Allan Atwood has been a piece of the Texas Music scene since the summer of 1980, when as a "songwriter" obsessed 18 yr old from Ennis, he began showing up at songwriter showcases in Dallas area saloons. The works of Kristofferson, BW Stevenson, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, and many more, had captured his imagination as a kid, and heavily influenced his early understanding of what he wanted to say musically, and how to say it. Hanging around the songwriter haunts of the Dallas folkie scene, and Lower Greenville Avenue's nightlife, he was able to watch, listen, and learn from a community of gifted "song tellers."Over the years, Atwood has shared stages, bills, and even served as tour support for a who's who of artists across many genres, including Turnpike Troubadours, Tesla, John Conlee, Great White, Joe Ely, Three Doors Down, Aaron Lewis, Zakk Wylde, and many more.
A 4-time Texas Music Awards recipient (Rising Star 2010, Founder's Award 2011, Male Vocalist 2013, and Live Artist of the Year 2014), Atwood has scored a handful of regional Texas radio hits from 5 full-length albums of original work, including the award winning debut How Country in 2009, the Atwood-Childs duo album Trading Pains in 2010, two Adam Odor produced albums with Mark Allan Atwood & Brimstone, Burned At The Crossroads and Alive & Well 2012 and 2013 respectively, and his latest, Old Scars & Sandbars, in March of 2023. "Happy Thoughts" and "Pedal Down Life," from Old Scars, were both popular singles, reaching new heights in radio spins and streaming numbers.
Currently a resident of what he refers to as "Almost Mexico" (South Padre Island), since 2016, after playing over a thousand shows to tourists and visitors from across the U.S., Atwood returned to traveling the roadways across Texas and Oklahoma in the summer of '22, with songs and stories of love and loss, right and wrong, and an occasional bit of poetry about June Bugs. https://markallanatwoodsmusic.com/
