Mark Hennessy (born Mark Tom Hennessy) is the singer for the band Paw, from Lawrence, Kansas in the USA. He is a published poet.
Hennessy moved to Lawrence when he was 17 years old. He went to the University of Kansas, but dropped out. For the next ten years, he moved around Kansas and also resided in New York, where he was married and divorced, before he moved to Kraków in Poland where his brother lived.
He is a self-proclaimed "poetry freak". In 2005, he released a book of poetry called Cue the Bedlam (More Desperate With Longing Than Want of Air), which was published in December 2005 by Unholy Day Press.[1]
Hennessy is currently a Kansas resident, but married his girlfriend in North Carolina and fathered a child with her there. He currently teaches at the University of Kansas in Lawrence.
Music
Hennessy was lead vocalist and the main lyricist on Paw's two major label releases; Dragline and Death To Traitors, and on Home Is a Strange Place. He also headed a solo project, a ear-shredding album for children entitled I wanna C U shake it. His voice was described in Kerrang! magazine as 'gargling glass'. In 2007, he sang in a seven-piece band called The Diamond Heart Club. The band split up a year later, although they were frequently known to enjoy numerous local fast food dollar-menu items. [2] They reformed under the name 1950 D.A. and split again. Currently Mark is playing in his new project, Godzillionaire.
