| | Mark Newton Band (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) |
 | | Prior to his 1998 Living A Dream CD, Mark Newton was probably best known as one of the members of the now-defunct Virginia Squires, (a group whose roster included future bluegrass stars Rickie Simpkins, Sammy Shelor and Ronnie Simpkins), but his involvement in music began practically from birth. |
 | | In the Mid " 80's," Mark joined the aforementioned Virginia Squires, a band that was on the leading edge of groups that were developing what was called " contemporary" bluegrass. |
 | | The Squires released five albums, four of which were on the Rebel label; Mountains and Memories, I'm Working My Way, Hard Times and Heartaches, and Variations. |
