Mark Cutler
Singer/songwriter/musician, Mark Cutler has made a living as a musician for most of his life. He is a 2015 inductee in the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame for his work with the bands The Schemers and The Raindogs as well as his solo work. The Schemers received national exposure on MTV after winning several New England music competitions. Mark’s work with The Raindogs included experimental collaborations with Iggy Pop and the actor Harry Dean Stanton. The Raindogs toured nationally with the likes of Bob Dylan, Don Henley, and Warren Zevon.
Mark has written soundtracks for various independent films. He continues to add unique entries to the great American songbook and currently leads The Men of Great Courage, the tiny string band, MMM, The Sorry Boys and performs as a solo artist. Cutler combines powerful lyrics with memorable melodies and driving rhythm and is always working on new material.
He spins tales about men who drink alone or hover over a lover. He sings stories about ghosts, pro wrestlers, walking in the woods, walking in the night, being remembered, just being alive and getting used to this. Like the character Travis Bickle, Mark will “play anytime and anywhere” and sometimes he’ll show up alone with his guitar and sing for you whether you like it or not. Mark is also the director of songwriting for everyone workshop
