Early yearsMark grew up in Los Angeles, one of two sons of Broadway, film, and television actor Keith Andes. As a teenager, he was an early member of Canned Heat, but left before the band was signed. Spirit & Jo Jo Gunne
Spirit was noted for its hybrid sound of rock and jazz styles. The group released groundbreaking works such as Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus (1970), that would be critically lauded later on, but commercial success largely eluded them at the time. When the original line-up of Spirit broke-up in 1971, Jay Ferguson and Mark formed the band Jo Jo Gunne. He recruited his brother, Matt Andes, to play guitar. Mark only recorded one album with Jo Jo Gunne before semi-retiring from music around 1972. During his stay, the band had a Top 40 hit with the song "Run, Run, Run." When Jo Jo Gunne reformed for a new CD and gigs in 2004, Mark was included in the line-up. Firefall
HeartFollowing a move back to California, and some session work, Mark joined a struggling line-up of Heart. He appeared on their final album for Sony Records, Passionworks (1983), and remained with the band until 1993. During this time, Heart found mainstream success, with several number one singles, and a number one album, Heart (1985). After a decade with Heart, Mark returned to session work.
