MARK MULLINS
New Orleans trombonist and horn arranger Mark Mullins has been changing the way people think about the trombone and horn sections for over 20 years and is often given credit for raising the trombone to lead instrument status in the modern funk, rock and jam band music scenes. Early in his career his unique tone and powerful horn arrangements quickly garnered the attention of giants of the local and national music industry. Mark was a pioneer using electronic effects with his horn in a way previously used only by guitarists to enhance his lead lines as a guitarist would. He’s also been a major force composing arrangements for multiple trombones in the groundbreaking band he co-founded, Bonerama which tackles everything from original compositions to Led Zeppelin, Beatles and Black Sabbath. Mark has become a top call when major record and tour producers look to add a dynamic New Orleans flavor to their albums and in recent years he has served as horn arranger/producer for Blackbird Presents series of concerts featuring Don Was as musical director. Broadcast credits include HBO’s Comic Relief (musical director), Lynyrd Skynyrd: One More For The Fans – Blackbird Presents (AXS), Mavis Staples: I’ll Take You There – Blackbird Presents (AXS), The Late Show, Tonight Show, Grammy Awards, and many more.
“Mark’s Levee Horns are virtuosic musicians whose humility and generosity allows them to blend together into a singular soulful voice. I’ve toured and recorded with these cats and night after night, they’ve never failed to lift the whole band’s level of expression to new heights…they elevate the game every time they pick up their horns!”
-Don Was
“beyond expectations”
-Michael McDonald
“Any band led by Mark Mullins is worth listening to.”
-Harry Connick Jr.

Mark is proud to appear on funk legend Maceo Parker’s brand new critically acclaimed release ‘Soul Food – Cooking with Maceo” and contributes the majority of horn arrangements for the album. Recorded in New Orleans LA just a few months before the pandemic hit with an all-star New Orleans based band, this shiny new release is garnering well deserved fresh praise for the living legend Maceo who sounds just as vibrant and funky as he did decades ago.

“Empty World” an original song written by Mark for Bonerama featuring Michael McDonald has just been released. Written in memory of New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint the song is a different take on what Bonerama listeners might be accustomed to hearing from the bombastic trombone fronted band with a tip of the hat to the graceful musical subtleties and lyricism of the New Orleans music legend. “Empty World” is dedicated to Allen Toussaint and is available everywhere through Basin Street Records.
