Mark Beauchemin Producer/Engineer/Songwriter

Getting his start as a cofounder and guitarist in the power-pop band SR-71, Mark Beauchemin made a name for himself with his melodic ear and intense stage presence. Their debut album Now You See Inside (RCA) produced by Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters) went gold on the legs of the first single 'Right Now.' After two years of touring capped off by opening for Bon Jovi, and a second release, the band dismantled. Taking some time off and concentrating on writing and recording Mark got the call to audition for Vanessa Carlton. It was immediately obvious that he was the perfect choice for the Grammy nominated singer/songwriter/pianist. After appearing on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Regis and Kelly, he toured with her as she supported her latest CD Heroes And Thieves (Universal). The two also recorded 'More Than This' acoustic with producer Rupert Hine (Rush, Stevie Nicks) for The Art of Peace Foundation: Songs For Tibet- The Art of Peace. The Art of Peace Foundation announced today that over a dozen of the world's top musical artists, including Sting, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Suzanne Vega, Rush and Duncan Sheik are coming together for an album entitled, "Songs for Tibet - The Art of Peace." Some of the other producers Mark has worked with... Randy Staub (Metallica, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Nickleback) Neal Avron (Everclear, Switchfoot, Weezer, New Found Glory) Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Pink, Taylor Swift, Gavin DeGraw) David Bendeth (Paramore, Papa Roach, Breaking Benjamin, Bruce Hornsby) And some of the studios he's recorded in...
