Mark Lowndes performing at the APS National Finals, 2011. Described as Jack Johnson meets Stevie Wonder, Brisbane born and bred vocalist Mark Lowndes is simply one of the best talents to come out of Australia. Described by those lucky enough to have seen him perform as an evocative songwriter with captivating vocals, the self-proclaimed optimist sees his talent as a tool to put multiculturalism and community on the map. His underlying messages thread through his strong and free spirited compositions with music being the root of his expression. With his honest and life filled performances, the acoustic singer continues to leave an indelible impression on those who cannot fathom the unbelievable sound and substance that comes from one man and his guitar. www.australianpoetryslam.com
