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, 22
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
bluegrass & 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 Hillside
records. 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...
