Along with his band, The Dreadnought Brigade, Mark DeRose’s music calls upon his love for rootsy blue-eyed soul and classic rock of the late '60s and '70s. The band brings high-energy performances of DeRose’s upbeat, feel-good music to different stages. However, they’re just as happy to leave the amps at home and bring the same positive energy to acoustic settings, listening rooms and house concerts.
