Carol Marks Music

Carol Marks has looked at the music business from both sides now. A polished performer by age 13, Carol took the stage as the youngest member of the corps de ballet of Tulsa Opera Ballet and Tulsa Civic Ballet. Carol has continued to enjoy a long career that has made stops in nearly every area of the performance business. She successfully made the... transition from ballet dancer, to singer, to business owner while raising a family. "I enjoyed what I was doing so much, when I met talented people in the entertainment business, I wanted them to be able to get work, also", Marks said. "It actually was other musicians who encouraged me and said that I should make a business out of booking their bands". Carol has built a successful career with Carol Marks Music, blending business smarts with stage savvy. Originated in 1971, the business has provided entertainment for all types of events, including conventions, festivals, charity events, weddings, trade shows, corporate and private parties. The agency boosts a roster of acts that encompass every genre imaginable, including high energy (regional and national) show groups, accomplished variety dance bands to premier jazz musicians. What started as primarily a local music agency has blossomed into a company that has provided national name acts and revues, casino, photography, comedians, magicians, and numerous other services. Despite the many changes the music industry has witnessed during the last three decades, Carol Marks Music has maintained its reputation as a source for quality entertainment. But, primarily, the business success comes down to one simple element, Carol's passion and appreciation for music and the arts.Read More
