Onyx Koan is an idea; a band:  a lifestyle.

​

  What do you get when you blend folk songs and indie rock with the eternal journey of enlightenment?...you get Onyx Koan.

​

  Singer/songwriter Mark Hubing started recording a 10-song full-band studio album in January 2020 without a band and chose to start the recording project with Jason Otto and Beyond Audio Recording in West Bend, WI.

​

  He contracted players who he felt brought the best vibe to the songs.  These ten songs represent the versatility of Mark's songwriting reaching back over the last decade or so.

​

  Mark then found mixing engineer Chris Short and Alpaca Ranch Recording (Chicago/Milwaukee) to mix the songs.

​

  The songs were then ready for mastering and have been mastered by Garrett Haines and Treelady Studios (Pittsburgh, PA).

​

  Through ups and downs alike, nearly three years later, the album is finished.

​

 

  Now, a band has come to life!

  

  The band is:  Mark Hubing (rhythm guitar, lead vocals), Gar Longworth (bass guitar, backing vocals),  Sam Sarmento (keys, backing vocals), Jason Myers (electric guitar, backing vocals), and David Johnson (drums).
