one of the most respected producers in the
Mid-Atlantic region. Born in Clarksburg, West
Virginia, Marc has always made music his livelihood,
both as a performer and as owner and founder of
Target Studios. From 1980 to 1986, Marc was a
member of Bad Sneakers, a popular Newark area band
that regularly performed up and down the east coast
and released three albums.
He opened Target Studios in 1986 while continuing to
write, record and perform his own music. In

Marc Moss and the Art Farm. Stereo Review

well-crafted, and addictively tuneful."

collaboration was a new area band,
Black/Moss/Meredith and their album WORLD OF WONDER.
From the church steeples of Eastern Europe in
"Ring the Bells"to the swamps of
"Blacksnake Road", from the jangly guitar
pop of "Laura Jane" to the pounding pulse
of "Widow's Web", WORLD OF WONDER takes
the listener on a diverse musical journey of the
soul. Visit the BMM Website!

Ward Camp
Originally from the DC area, and
co-founder with Shane Faber. Ward left the band in
mid 1983 to pursue his dream of owning and operating
a recording studio and independently producing
records. He purchased a local studio and recorded and
produced albums for two local artists, Crabtree
Thompson (a solo act) and the Johnny Neel Band
(Southern Rock featuring Bill Dube, the drummer from
the original Bad Sneakers). Then at Christmas 1983,
he committed suicide. It was a great loss to me
personally and to all those who knew him. He was one
of the most talented musicians I ever met and one of
my best friends. It was truly a tragic waste but life goes on.
Bill Dube
Originally from Maine, Bill was the third
member of the original Bad Sneakers lineup in 1979.
He played drums, sang and ran the lights with a
drumstick! A great drummer with a great personality,
he had always wanted to play with Johnny Neel and
unfortunately for Bad Sneakers, he got the
opportunity after about 6 months and took it. He went
on to play with Johnny for several years, including
the album that Ward produced in 1983. Eventually, he
retired from the live music scene and still lives in
Newark, DE.
