Mark Barrios

Mark Barrios is from Tampa, Florida and has been working that area as a guitarist for the past 25 years. The track, 'Spanish Morning' is from his album 'West Tampa Style' and has all the infuences of Carlos Santana throughout. He attributes listening to Santana's 'Abraxas' many years ago as a turning point in his life. However, he is not bound by this and another track - ' West Tampa' has more than a touch of Jeff Golub about it.

He admits to being also infuenced by Eric Clapton & Larry Carlton. For the past few years , he has been gigging with 'Off the Cuff' of which he is a founder member.
