Being a multi-instumentalist allows me to cater to virtually any function in almost any genre.  I mainly perform as a soloist on guitar and cello at corporate functions and weddings. I also play bass in a general business band called Funkytown.  As a drummer I am the bandleader of the Mark Hardt Jazz Trio. In addition I also play banjo, guitar, mandolin, and cello in the bluegrass ensemble The Franklin Pickers.  I have included samples of all of these at the bottom of the page.  You will also find more specific information about these combinations if you follow the links. For bandleaders or players looking for a sub on drums, bass. or guitar please contact me for availability.

“Mark's music set exactly the intimate and romantic mood we were looking for
at our wedding ceremony.  The music surrounded us, but never intruded.
 
Our wedding ceremony was delayed by unforeseeable events.  Mark knew exactly
what to play to keep the guests entertained and relaxed without knowing how long we'd have to wait.  I was so grateful not to worry.”
