Mark Blinkhorn

Co-founder & Drummer

Playing drums since the mid 60’s, Mark Blinkhorn has spent most of his life making neighbors unhappy. Whether it was marching bands, orchestra, rock, jazz, and even polka bands, Mark always enjoyed playing for anyone who would listen. Taking a slight hiatus to raise a family and make a career as an EMT/firefighter, Mark never lost his zeal for performing. Recently retired, Mark is back full-time playing drums and co-producing Decades Rewind™. His shared vision of Decades Rewind™ is now coming to life with the help of so many talented friends and artists. We all hope this show brings back the amazing memories of your lives. Mark would like to thank his amazing wife and children for their unending love and support and to his partners in crime, Peter and Al, for all they’ve done to make this dream a reality. Rock On!
