This performance will be outdoors; if inclement weather\, it will be moved indoors. \nA two-time winner of the IBMA Bass Player of the Year Award\, Mark is best known for his contributions on some of the most iconic recordings in bluegrass by artists such as Tony Rice\, Bela Fleck\, John Hartford\, Claire Lynch\, Tim O’Brien\, Sara Jarosz\, and Nickel Creek. But Mark is also a master of the clawhammer banjo and is featured playing his own compositions on two solo projects on Rounder Records\, BRAND NEW OLD TYME WAY and STEPPIN’ IN THE BOILER HOUSE. Mark is always ready to cut loose with some Southern Appalachian clogging and hambone\, and his stagecraft was honed through a long association with the acclaimed Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble\, for whom he still serves as Musical Director. \n“Mark Schatz – The Solo Concert” offers Mark the opportunity to engage an audience in a very personal way with his unique and animated charm and broad skill set. He pulls out all of the stops on banjo\, bass and guitar\, presenting songs\, stories\, and tunes\, tapping on a board\, dancing\, and reciting poetry\, offering a vaudevillian feast for the eyes and ears. \nAlways in demand both in the studio and on the road\, Mark appears on Bela Fleck’s most recent Grammy nominated project\, Rhapsody in Blue. He appears as well on an upcoming solo project by Rick Faris. \nMark currently resides in Berkeley\, California with his wife\, Lisa Berman-Schatz\, who is a graphic designer and fellow musician. \nARTIST’S WEBSITE: https://www.markschatz.net/ \nARTIST’S VIDEO: Mark Schatz – The Solo Concert – https://youtu.be/2ZhdYDJqh4o \nADMISSION is by free-will offering\, suggested amounts: Adults $20-25\, teens and seniors $10-15.
