Биография

Mark Bishop is a Grammy-Nominated, Dove Award winning Gospel Music artist who hails from the Appalachian Mountains of eastern Kentucky. He began his musical career in 1984, singing in church with his family. Word spread of the family's beautiful harmony and by 1987 "The Bishops" were traveling a full-time schedule, performing on the Grand Ole' Opry, Bill Gaither videos and concerts, Nashville Now with Ralph Emory, Crooke and Chase, and in concert venues everywhere. As the years unfolded for The Bishops, Mark became the group's primary songwriter, penning several hit songs and producing the group's "Kentucky Bluegrass" album which won a Dove award the following year. When the group retired from the road in 2001, Mark continued to create music and maintain a concert schedule. Today, years later, he still writes music for his own recordings and for other artists in the Gospel genre, and continues to share his songs in live performances.
