Mark Tucker (musician)

Mark Tucker (born October 11, 1957 in Laurel, Maryland, United States, is an American musician, songwriter, singer, producer, and co-founder of Tetrapod Spools.

His debut album, Batstew, which is now collectible, was released in two runs, each of 100 copies. The album was re-released in 1996 as a compact disc, with extra tracks that never made it onto the original LP. It comprises amongst other things recordings of Tucker's car, a 1964 Cadillac which he had nicknamed "The Bat".

In 1982, Tucker recorded his second album, In The Sack. The music was largely experimental, with tracks including "Everywhere with Sally (Ride)", a pop song recorded backwards. In 1991, he legally changed his name to T. Storm Hunter and continued to release music under that name.
