Mark had gotten word from Jeff Allen that Bonnie Tyler was going to perform 4 shows, two in Canada and two in the US and needed a complete band to perform her hits. This was just a one off type of thing but never the less Mark said yes that he could get a band that included him on guitars, Mike Dimeo on keyboards, Bobby Rondinelli on drums and Lenny Rocillo on bass.

The band rehearsed out on long Island for about a week and Bonnie arrived just a few days before the first 2 shows at the Fallsview Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Canada September of 2007. Both shows where a huge success as this was her fist time ever in Canada and the band sounded great!

Then in November of 2007 right after returning from a six city tour in Spain (RIOT) Mark, Dimeo, Rondinelli and Rocillo bored a plain in New York and arrived in Las Angles 6hrs later for a four day rehearsal.

This time Bonnie wanted a more dull sounding guitar line up and had Matt Petrin her long time guitarist come over from the UK where Bonnie is based out of to complete the line up. The band performed two more shows, one in Las Angeles and one In Las Vegas before returning to New York.

This was a great experience to see Mark in a different kind of atmosphere and by the video clips provided, you know its Mark Reale by his tone and style for sure!
