 The newly signed Chromatone Records recording artists, formed in 2008 by Cumming, natives Jody Abernathy and Mark Mundy, will showcase their original country music.

Listen to their music HERE

Jody Abernathy (lead vocals & guitar) has been a musician ever since teaming up with his friend Mark Mundy while still in high school. After playing in many bands, in every genre that caught their interest, the two decided together to focus on the country music that was closest to their hearts. Jody is a skilled, evocative songwriter, able to capture a wide range of emotion and experience in his songs, and in 2007, was one of only 12 songwriters chosen to participate in Jeffery Steele’s Songwriting Bootcamp in Nashville. His strong vocals recall the best of country’s old-school stylists, with a broad range and emotional delivery.

Mark Mundy (lead guitar & vocals)was born into music, he says. “My parents, brother, cousins, grandparents, and even my great-grandfather were all musicians.” Though he first learned music in bluegrass groups, rock & roll and country music, the electric guitar became his true calling. After a tour in the US Army, he dove head first into performing in bands, including Allgood, The Urban Shakedancers, The Hooplas, and many others. “I am happier with this line-up of musicians than I have ever been,” says Mark about Across The Wide. As you listen, you can easily hear his eclectic list of influences including Tony Rice, Doc and Merle Watson, Eddie Van Halen, and George Harrison, to name a few.
