4/23 - This Week's guest: Mark "Smoothy" Ensley!

Mark Ensley is a revered name in the South Carolina music scene. Born and raised in Easley, SC on the "mill hill" like so many of his family and friends, Mark's musical journey began at an early age. 

He has played in several popular bands, among them Slewfoot, the band who took over the house gig at the iconic Bowery Bar in Myrtle Beach, SC after the success of Alabama in Nashville. After his time with Slewfoot, Mark later formed The Bounty Hunters, and shared a 20 plus year relationship with The Bowery family. He is currently playing bass in The James Radford Band and loving every minute of it!

I always enjoy catching up with Mark and hearing his stories of family, music, and life after The Bowery.
