The Road Chief
Under his alias, The Road Chief, Mark McGuire creates casual pop jams that fall outside of his solo work for Dead Oceans. The Road Chief began in 2008 when it served as Mark's DJ moniker and an outlet for his tribute songs to the late Roger Troutman. Since then it's gently grown to incorporate a wider range of unsung urban greats from The Controllers and Kashif to Mikki Bleu and Luther Vandross. The tracks are a contemporary patchwork of 80s soul and smooth jazz, filtered through the lens of late summer in Southern California.
