Mark Lee Townsend is known best as guitarist for the Christian rock band dc Talk.
Mark's career started as a member/singer/guitarist/songwriter for the 80's Pop/Christian band Bash 'N The Code from 1986 through 1991. He played with dc talk from 1996 until their hiatus in 2001. In between dc Talk tours, he was a lead guitarist for the Christian artist Jennifer Knapp. He creatively added more life to her already well-written songs. At the Cornerstone Festival 2000, he appeared doing an acoustic act where he ended his show with a rendition of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. During his time with dcTalk, he and other members of the band formed the band, Zilch, and made the album "Platinum" for Gotee Records.
After dc Talk went on an extended hiatus, Townsend took to producing. He produced [Jennifer Knapp Live] in 2006, as seen on jenniferknapp.com, as well as producing and engineering two full-length albums for the Christian rock band The Wedding. He also produced The O.C. Supertones' 2004 album "The Revenge Of The Supertones".
