# Event Details

- **Event Name**: National Touring Songwriter & Artist Mark Aaron James Live on the River at Tiki Docks Port Orange
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Raised in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Mark found himself an unlikely fit in Nashville’s songwriter scene—until he wasn’t. At Vanderbilt, he went from porch parties to “in the round” sessions with hitmakers, quickly learning that in Music City, you’d better write songs strong enough to keep people from heading to the bathroom. The lesson stuck: his songs have since been performed by everyone from Jimmy Buffett to the World Peace Choir.

His early albums earned him back-to-back wins as “Best Local Songwriter” and “Best Up-and-Coming Band” in The Nashville Scene reader’s poll, topping names like John Hiatt and Lucinda Williams. Radio airplay, CMJ chart success, and PBS appearances followed—but Mark eventually traded country’s backyard for New York’s stages. Since then, he’s headlined clubs from Rockwood to the Bitter End, earned UMO’s nod as one of the “Top 14 Singer-Songwriters in Greenwich Village,” and even landed a song placement in Lost.

The journey didn’t stop there. In 2008 he moved to London on a rare Artist Visa, releasing Live in London, Simple Ingredients to glowing reviews while hosting the “On Stage” acoustic showcase and making his West End debut alongside Alan Cumming. Back in the States, his animated video Aquaman’s Lament went viral, he released multiple acclaimed albums (Throwing Shapes, Play Harder), toured internationally, and even performed at a White House Christmas concert benefiting the Red Cross. He was also shortlisted for an Oscar for his song “The Piece/Peace That You Are Missing,” written for the documentary Fighting Spirit: A Combat Chaplain’s Journey.

More recently, Mark has expanded into musical theater. His first show, HERO: An Origin Story, was selected for the New York Musical Festival and later became a semi-finalist for the O’Neill National Music Theater Conference. His second, Peripheral, premiered at the Newport New Work's Festival in 2025 to sold-out audiences, with New York productions on the horizon. His third, We Can Fix It, begins readings next year.
From porch parties to Playwrights Horizons, viral videos to the White House, Mark Aaron James continues to blur the line between humor, heart, and craft—always with a twist you didn’t see coming.
