Mark Cutler & Men of Great Courage are an original rock & roll band with rootsy songs and contagious onstage energy. Known for his work with Providence stalwarts The Schemers and The Raindogs as well as his solo work, Mark combines powerful lyrics with memorable melodies and driving rhythm. His courageous current line-up includes Rhode Island Music Hall of Famers and Schemers members Jimmy Berger on bass and backing vocals and Rick Couto on drums and percussion; Richard Reed on organ and piano; and David P. Richardson on guitar.
The Same Thing Project Founded by Mark in 2016, The Same Thing Project is a community songwriting workshop for people from all walks of life. It’s a place where you don’t need musical skill to be musical — musicians, artists, students, teachers, retired folks, neurodiverse, differently-abled, blue and white-collar workers participate every week in writing a song in a nonjudgmental and encouraging environment. It takes place at schools, adult care facilities, community centers and college campuses.
