  • Mark Hill

    Music

    Mark Hill born July 27 1967, grew up in a small farming community in the southern most part of Illinois. Raised in a musical family, it was apparent early that he had a gift and quite an ear for music. He began playing piano at the age of 5 picking out melodies of songs he'd heard in church. At age 11 he found the bass guitar quite by chance and knew in short order that bass was his love. The bass quickly became an extension of him. His early days of playing bass consisted of local recordings and traveling regionally in the midwest with his family. In order to make a living,  at 22 he switched to top 40 bands in the area all the while knowing that a session career in Nashville was truly what he desired. In 1990 he made the 4 hour move to Nashville and quickly made the producers list of up and coming bass players securing many master recording sessions. In between sessions he toured with artists such as, Steven Curtis Chapman, Martina McBride, Keith Urban (band leader), Reba McEntire to name a few.  1990- Current he has become a first call session musician known for his strong Fender bass tone, working 600+ sessions annually and garnering five nominations for ACM bass player of the year, and twice reaching the Music Row All-Stars list. Recording for artists such as The Civil Wars, Kelly Clarkson, Reba McEntire, Brooks & Dunn,  The Lone Bellow, Holly Williams, Brett Dennen, Carrie Underwood, Richard Marx, Hank Jr, Toby Keith, Kenny Loggins, Montgomery/Gentry, Eric Church,  Luke Bryan, and Charlie Peacock. Again ...to name a few.

    Rader, along with the rest of his family, performed in The Ocean Opry Music Show in Panama City Beach, Florida, which operated from 1978-2005. With his family Rader performed over 200 shows a year, until moving to Nashville in 2004.

  • Rob McNelley

    Funk

    Nashville session guitarist Rob McNelley was a member of Delbert McClinton's band for eight years while also compiling a long list of credits with artists like Wynona, Montgomery Gentry, Jo Dee Messina, Hank Williams, Jr., Lady Antebellum, Dierks Bentley, Dolly Parton and countless others. He won rave reviews while touring as lead guitarist with Bob Seger and his Silver Bullet Band, and has been nominated as the Academy of Country Music's Guitarist of the Year.

    Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Rob picked up the guitar as a youngster hanging out with the players in his dad's Southern Rock band. The band toured with acts such as the Allman Brothers, Charlie Daniels, and the Marshall Tucker Band, so there were always hot guitar players around who had time to show a few licks to a keen nine-year old. This invaluable practical education was rounded out by an introduction to theory and jazz in his high school music class. Rob started his first band in the 8th grade, and by the time he graduated from high school he was sitting in with his dad's band and getting regular gigs in local clubs.

    For the next step in his career, McNelley decided make the move to Nashville. He got his start in Music City recording and touring with blues rocker Tinsley Ellis, and was on tour with Lee Ann Womack when the offer came to join Delbert McClinton. Eight-year years later, as McClinton was cutting back on his touring dates, Rob was getting busier with session work.
