Mark Nesler
Welcome

Another in the long line of great Texas writer/artists, Mark Nesler writes honest, heartfelt country songs in the spirit of all the country music greats-with a definite focus on today’s contemporary sound.

 
After touring for several years with his own band, in 1995 Mark began playing guitar with RCA Recording artist Tracy Byrd.  While touring with Byrd, Mark continued to grow as a songwriter and performer.  Mark recorded an album on Nashville’s Asylum label in 1997 and gained the respect and praise of a legion of fans and music industry executives.  His voice and style have been compared to the legendary Merle Haggard.  Later, many top recording artists in Nashville recorded songs from that album.  One of those artists is Country Star Tracy Lawrence, who released the song “Used To The Pain” as his first single from his greatest hits package in June of 2005.

 

Other artists that have benefited from his songwriting talent are George Strait and Tim McGraw in particular.  McGraw had a six week #1 single with the Nesler penned song “Just to See You Smile” from his multi-platinum selling “Everywhere” album.  George Strait has two #1 singles, thanks to the songwriting talent of Mark Nesler:  “Living and Living Well”, a 3 week #1, and “Go On”.  Nesler also co-wrote Darryl Worley’s biggest hit single to date, the #1 “I Miss My Friend”. Other hit singles include:  “For You, I Will”- Aaron Tippin, “Just Let Me Be In Love” and “Heaven In My Woman’s Eyes”- Tracy Byrd. 

 

In 2006 Mark enjoyed another top ten with the Billy Currington single “Why, Why, Why”, in 2007 a top five single on Lyric Street’s Bucky Covington titled “A Different World”, and reached the top of the charts again at #1 in 2008 with Keith Urban's amazing performance of "You Look Good In My Shirt".  

 

Mark continues to write everyday….and is one of Nashville’s most successful and most respected songwriters and artists.
