Mark
Johnson, Bassist:
Mark is an original member of the Fender Benders,
but left for a few years to pursue other musical interests. He returned to the band about 7 years ago after realizing how
much he missed the magic of the Fender Benders.
He owns a new neon business in Bowling Green,
KY. He is the only glass bender in Bowling Green and is starting to reap the rewards of being a needed commodity!
Mark learned to play bass by watching his
stepfather play bass for country and gospel bands as a kid. He would help set-up, then watch him play and then help them tear
down. He learned the music business, as well as how to play, by the time he was a teenager.
He has played many types of music, but that Motown sound was what made him the happiest! Grooving and
playing in the pocket is what it is all about for Mark!
