From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Salomon is an American singer and author best known as the lead singer of the hard rock bands Stavesacre and The Crucified.

In both Stavesacre and the Crucified, he served as primary lyricist as well.

[edit] Biography

During his time in Stavesacre, Salomon was often called upon to lend vocals to songs by other bands, most notably Project 86, Argyle Park, CHATTERbOX and Mortal and now Neon Horse.

In 2007, Salomon appeared in the video for the song "Cuckoo" by Neon Horse. His appearance, combined with the vocal style of the album, led to speculation that Salomon was one of the principles in the band (the members of which were not immediately made known).

Salomon also is the author of Simplicity (ISBN 0976035766), an autobiography that tells of his formative years in Southern California, his development as a singer, and the band Stavesacre's struggles to fit in to the Christian music scene (and why it eventually left the scene). Initially self-published, a revised version was released in 2005 by Relevant Books, a publishing house connected to Relevant Magazine.
