The Mark Castro Band is a rock group from The Bay Area. Currently featuring classic rock music, The Mark Castro Band is a favorite of a wide variety of audiences, with a surprising mix of fun, exciting, romantic or moody songs - something to please everyone.

This trio is led by phenominal guitarist, Mark Castro. Mark became popular in the East Bay during his high school years. Soon after, he toured and recorded with the great Reggae band, Inner Circle (Bad Boys). When located in The Bay Area, The Mark Castro Band could be seen regularly at The Keystone Family Clubs. His band members have included Santana alumni, bassist, Dave Brown and percussionist, Rico Reyes. Mark has opened for other great guitarists including Robin Trower, Ronnie Montrose, Roy Buchanan, and many more. Recently, Mark performed with Latin Legends, Jorge Santana and Richard Bean, of Malo. (Suavecito); with The Mark Castro Band opening the show. Mark's original compositions feature flowing melodies and strong tight leads. Currently, The Mark Castro Band is performing an eclectic mix of exciting classic rock songs from Chuck Berry, Santana, Jeff Beck, Hendrix, and The Beatles, as well as songs that are not often performed by cover trios. With his own brand of originality and perfection, Mark can take any piece of music and thrill the audience with the familiarity of the song and yet take it to a higher level.
Mark's singer and bass player/keyboardist is Satia. Originally from New York, Doris Runcie, aka Satia, received her Bachelor of Music Theory and Composition Degree from the University of Maryland. Before working with Mark, Satia was the leader of her original group, SATIA.

In recent years, The Mark Castro Band has been performing mostly in the Reno/Tahoe area, at annual events like Street Vibrations and The Rib Cook-off, for numerous motorcycle runs that benefit the community, as well as regular clubs, ski resorts, and casinos, weddings, private and corporate parties.
Satiasongs Publishing, currently based in the Reno/Tahoe Area, manages and books The Mark Castro Band. The group can be seen from the West Coast to Salt Lake and from Las Vegas to Oregon.
