I am a Sarnia musician and have seen Mark Blayney perform live many times. He has a smooth relaxing tone to his vocals that sets the mood just right. I love the open simplistic approach to the “Just Me and My Guitar” album. My favorite is “True Love” see it at “www.youtube.com True Love” a beautifully written and composed balad with an excellent music video: I swim at that beach all the time!
