There are two kinds of music. . .Good music, and the other kind. - Duke Ellington
Since it’s founding in 2008, The Mark Chapman Band has been considered one of the premier bands in the Southwest Missouri. Anchored by the songwriting and vocal skills of lead vocalist and founder Mark Chapman, The MCB has toured extensively throughout southern and middle-Missouri. The MCB has also provided tour support for notable country stars Easton Corbin, Justin Moore, as well as The Eli Young Band. Furthermore, Mark Chapman has performed both with his MCB and solo acoustically from Oklahoma to Nashville, TN, receiving airplay in 19 markets with his debut album “Who Knew.”
Mark along with his brothers Jeff and Greg Chapman leave crowds talking about their great sibling harmonies and exciting stage show. Bill Bruce is one of the finest musicians in the midwest and anchors the band on lead guitar. An accomplished musician on his own, Randall Wildman has been with the group for a couple years now and is solid on the bass and backing vocals. The newest member of The MCB is Paul Napierski on the drums.
"MCB is just great! I was amazed by the talented musicians and voices in this band when I heard the CD. It arrived in the mail a few days and I have not stopped listening to it. I spent every summer in SW Missouri when i was growing up and this CD brings back great memories and is my kind of musicMCB is just great!"
