S/SW Mark DeRose has had the pleasure of opening for national touring artists Rusted Root, Gin Blossoms, Michelle Branch, Edwin McCain, Blues Traveler, The Sugar Hill Gang and Josh Kelley. Also, he performed as part of an NFL halftime show for the Baltimore Ravens and his music has been featured for use on daytime television.

DeRose & The Dreadnought’s music calls upon the band’s love for rootsy blue-eyed soul and classic rock of the late 60s and 70s. This band brings high-energy performances of upbeat, feel good music to stages across the region.  The main goal when they step on stage is simple – spread a little joy through music! For fans of Van Morrison, Dave Matthews, The Doobies, The Allman Brothers and The Band.
