Counter
Mark Templeton was the one of three children of the late
Eugene & Mildred Templeton.
Growing up in a musical family, Mark quickly learned to play and
sing the "Blue Ridge Mountain Way". Mark began his professional
career in 1969 where he performed on banjo at a local school for a
cakewalk. On the way home he said "Wow! Dad, I think we could
start a band". Hence came the first Templeton family bluegrass band
"The Stony Run Troubadours". 35 years, 32 albums and many miles
throughout North America later Mark is still entertaining crowds the
same way his daddy taught him. All these years his #1 goal has been
to serve his Lord Jesus Christ in all that he does. Mark travels and
performs at Churches, Bluegrass Festivals and any other venue that
showcases  Gospel music. He is an accomplished banjo, guitar, bass &
piano player and has his own recording studio. He has recorded
under QCA records, Sonshine records, ACA records and is  currently
recording under Parris Avenue records. Mark is married to Mandy
and has a daughter, Kelsey. When you attend one of Mark's concerts
you will be sure to be entertained & blessed plus you will hear the
Blue Ridge mountains calling you...
