Mark Baughman is a songwriter, singer, musician, composer, playwright and visual artist. His original music is produced as an ongoing project called “Mark Baughman’s Working Theory,” and in the past 7 years he has recorded 8 albums and brought 3 rock operas to stage with much more in progress.
Mark’s range as a songwriter and composer seamless moves from folk and Americana to jazz to metal to blues, with hybrids of them all. Mark’s lyrics are thoughtful, engaging stories about real people and the world around us. His melodies and musical progressions take the listener in. One recent album review summed up what many have said:
“You won’t find a combination of thoughtful songwriting and explosive music in this genre that’s more impressive than the work coming from Mark Baughman’s Working Theory right now.”
Born and raised in Ohio, Mark was a guitar standout at 13 and by time he went to college in Boston he was a staple on the coffeehouse circuit, sharing the stage with some of Boston’s most famous local musicians. It has been hard to put Mark’s music into any one category. He wears this as a badge of honor, raised in the shadow of Sgt. Pepper, The White Album and Pet Sounds.
