Mark Currey's roots run through North Texas and Southeast Arkansas. Storytelling is central to Currey’s writing, and his stories contain the joy, sadness, wisdom, and wonder of a songwriter looking back to find a way forward.

Mark was a finalist in the Texas Heritage Songwriters' Associations 2015 Texas Songwriter U Competition and a four-time nominee in the Arkansas Country Music Awards.  He was a semi-finalist in the 2025 Songwriter Serenade competition.

Mark is a regular Songwriter in the Wild at the  annual Antlers and Acorns: Boone Songwriters Festival which has also included acclaimed songwriters such as Rodney Crowell, Mary Gauthier, James McMurtry, Darrell Scott, and John Paul White.  

Mark has shared the stage with artists such as Radney Foster, Billy Joe Shaver, Todd Snider, Chris Knight, Jack Ingram, American Aquarium, Wanda Jackson, Amanda Shires, David Olney, Charlie Robison, Amelia White, and Lilly Hiatt.

In the Spring of 2025, Mark Currey entered Fellowship Hall Sound in Little Rock to record the follow-up to his acclaimed 2017 album, Tarrant County. Over the next three days, Mark and producer Jason Weinheimer recorded six new tracks with a band that included Jesse Aycock (Guitar, lap steel, dobro, piano), Paddy Ryan (Drums and Percussion), and Weinheimer (Bass and keyboards). John Fullbright and Phil Bronchtein added additional piano, organ, and Wurlitzer, while backing vocal tracks were added by The Delta Soul Singers and Jaimee Harris.

The new EP, Only Sky, contains both heartbreak and whimsy, bluesy rockers and moody meditations, as well as a true story about a monkey. Storytelling remains central to Currey’s writing, and these stories contain the joy, sadness, wisdom, and wonder of a songwriter looking back to find a way forward.

Only Sky is currently available for download, streaming, and on Compact Disc.
