Look for a few of Mark’s songs including his hit “Into Your Love” this summer in “Loosing Her” a film by Director Shahaub Roudbari. Mark has also been in the studio playing guitar on the score written by composer Michael Gonzales.
Fans of Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famer Richie Furay poured into The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills California on Thursday night. Mark had the privilege of opening up for one of the founding members of Buffalo Springfield. Mark played to a very captive and participating audience at the packed Canyon Club.
“This is an experience I will never forget. What a great crowd and it’s not everyday you get to play on the same stage as a Rock N’ Roll legend.” -Mark Fonseca
The night started off with Mark’s set which included songs from his recently released EP Into Your Love and new songs to be recorded for his new album to be released later this year. Mark got the crowd engaged early as he sang “Into Your Love”.
“I saw this done once where an opening band asked the crowd to go crazy for one of there songs. I though I would give it a shot. It could have backfired on me but this was an awesome crowd!”
Check out the video to see what he is talking about. Mark will be performing at Rusty’s Surf Ranch on the Santa Monica Pier Saturday night Feb. 11th at 9:15.
Stroll down to the beach with Mark as he discusses his influence for the new album tenatively scheduled to be released this Summer.

Listen to “Into Your Love” on the video below
This past April Mark Fonseca spent a week recording a 5 song (EP) entitled Into Your Love with singer-songwriter and producer Andrew Osenga;(The Normals, Caedmon’s Call, Jars of Clay).
In 5 songs, Mark reaches deep lyrically and spans several styles of music. From a rockin’ intro song called “Another Day”; which expresses the importance of living life today, to a smooth island groove titled “Will You Love Me When I’m Gone”. “It is a song about loving the people God has placed in our lives before it’s too late.”
The (EP) also includes a rock ballad worship song entitled, “Into Your Love”. The other tracks keep the variety true. “Gonna Be Alright” is a song of encouragement in troubled times with a little Hawaiian flavor to it. The middle ground on the (EP) “Good Day” is a fun rock n’ roll Paul McCartney type jam. “It’s just a fun song about leaving the things of this life that don’t really matter all behind. In this life, loving God, and loving others is all that matters. I wanted a light hearted fun song to carry this message.”
Into Your Love is now available on itunes, cdbaby, and at markfonseca.com. You can also grab a copy at one of Mark’s shows on his summer tour.
