"SheilaMark" is Sheila Stratton and Mark Hamza. Sheila performs as singer and Mark on the accordion or Hammond organ. Mark plays the accordion in a very non-traditional way on great songs from many eras that include the 30, 40, 50's, 60's and songs from Rock and Blues to Jazz.
Sheila has recorded and produced 2 CD's that are currently available on CD Baby. The name of the CD's are "Celtic Song and Story" and "Celtic Lady of the Lake". The CD's have been played on the Thistle and Shamrock show called Celtic Kaleidoscope, hosted by Bill Raffel on WBUF, 98.7 FM. Sheila has been a lead singer for many bands in the Buffalo, NY area including "Iad Fein".
Mark Hamza's first is CD available on CD Baby as well called "Mark Hamza and The Great Swamp Blues Band." Tracks from his CD have been played on many local radio stations.
Mark Hamza has been playing accordion since he was 8 years old. A full time musician since 1971, he landed an organ gig in the Poconos in a Pennsylvania resort band in 1972 and moved there. He occasionally went on the road with different bands. In the 70's, it was with "The Happenings" where he learned analog multi-keyboards. In the 90's it was with the "Clarence Spady Band" where he honed his blues chops on Hammond organ.
Mark also has "The Great Swamp Blues Band", which consists of Hammond organ, Saxophone, Trombone, and Drums. The band plays a combination of cover songs and originals that reside on the "Jazzy side of the Blues." In 2007, Mark released his "Great Swamp Blues Band" album.
Mark also has a solo act that includes many traditional tunes from Germany, Italy and France and the great American song book.
We have released two EP's, one for the Great Swamp Blues Band and one for the SheilaMark Blues Band. Great Swamp Band EP is called "Come Together" and SheilaMark Band is "A Presence of the Blues". You can find clips on this site. Find us on Facebook as Sheila Mark!
