Biography
NYC-based, Hudson-Valley born songwriter and guitarist Mark McIntyre released his debut album Eras February 2023 under pen-name MM Orchard. In the years prior, Mark developed his experimental indie sound during his 2-year residency at Greenwich Village’s legendary dive bar/music sanctuary the 55 Bar.
Combining ambitious emotional explorations, spontaneous musical fluidity and chamber-pop sensibilities of artists like Bon Iver, Little Dragon and Radiohead, Mark is set to release his second album Bells Are Ringing Etc in the fall and winter of 2026/2027, which features, along with many friends, the Bergamot String Quartet and a collaboration with film director YuHan Tsai.
As a recording and performing guitarist, Mark has recorded on two tracks on international superstars Romeo Santos (one of NY Times’s 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters) x Prince Royce’s 2025 album Better Late Than Never, and co-wrote the track Encerrados. The same year, Mark composed for Kroger’s Holiday commercial Project: Gingerbread, and travelled to Italy with KJ Denhert to participate in the Bassano Music Residency. He has performed on CNN with Billy Ray Cyrus, and is a member of Planetary People, which recorded over 60 tracks in the Covid Pandemic, as well as several other independent music projects in Brooklyn. Mark has scored 3 indie movies and was the music supervisor for the web-series Gimme A Break, is a passionate teacher, and has travelled as far as Brazil and Alaska to perform.
Non-musical information: Mark is a nerd at heart, and greatly enjoys his time outdoors.
