Mark ‘Deke’ McGee started playing Saxophone at the age of 13, after hearing Bill Doggetts ‘Honky Tonk’ played by the legendary Clifford Scott.

As a Sideman Deke, he has performed all over the world at Jazz and Blues Festivals in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, London, Dublin, Antwerp, Paris and numerous other places.
