Biography

Mark Trammell began his singing career in the summer of 1974 with the Senators. He joined the Kingsmen Quartet in 1978 to play bass guitar. For a short period in 1979 between the departure of Squire Parsons and the arrival of Wayne Maynard, he also sang baritone for the Kingsmen. In 1980, Mark was hired to sing baritone and play bass guitar for the Cathedral Quartet, replacing Steve Lee. He would remain with the Cathedrals for the next decade.

Mark left the Cathedrals in 1990 to form the group Greater Vision with another Cathedrals alumnus, Gerald Wolfe. He left Greater Vision in 1993 and joined Gold City where he remained for ten years. He left in 2003 to form the Mark Trammell Trio which became the Mark Trammell Quartet a few years later.

Mark Trammell is also a songwriter with compositions recorded by many Southern Gospel artists.
