Guilty Pleasure / #1 Fan Mark Gormley: Sage Warrior Of The Summer

Mark Gormley stands tall, stoic and proud, with his right leg cocked just so, as to make you think you're looking at a masterpiece resting on an easel. It would be difficult to pick a man like Mark Gromley out of a line-up of tourists on the Seattle Underground Tour, and even harder to distinguish from your own dad. But when Mark Gromley sings, you know his voice, much as you know Geddy Lee's when you hear Rush, or Mick Jagger when you hear the Stones.

Beloved by Pensacola's cool and flamboyant former radio DJ/ Uncharted Zones host Phil Thomas Katt (who also produces Gormley's low-budget videos), Gormley became an internet sensation in 2009 for his magnificent songwriting and video accompaniment.

Gormley is reclusive man, who is more likely to step in front of the green screen than out under the Florida sun, but his songs are truly a reason for this season, all hot, majestic, and triumphant. What you are about to see is "very, very intense."
