Press Reviews "As a vocalist, Mark has a big, booming voice and animpressive range. At times his style is very reminiscent of Roy Orbison. He has an expressive voice and a knack for down-home storytelling. As a multi-instrumentalist, Mark does an excellent job. He isa very good guitarist, plays a convincing harmonicaand off some keys on "In LA" and "Hazy August".It is my understanding that Mark usually performs in the solo acoustic, coffee house setting and I thinkthat this would be the perfect environment for hisstyle of music. Based on what I heard on "No Figmentof Imagination", his acoustic guitar and his voiceare all Mark Buerschaper needs to draw an audiencein." - Tom Lydde of ChicagoGigs.Com
