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.

SUMMARY:Bluegrass Tuesdays at Lily P's
DESCRIPTION:Jams and concerts every Tuesday at this Cambridge institution\, going strong for over 25 years! Check the web site to join the mailing list and find out who is playing this week. https://bluegrasstuesdays.com/ \n\n\n\n5:15 pm – My Beginner-to-Intermediate Bluegrass Jam continues to meet nearly every Tuesday\, but you’ll have to email me at tonywatt@gmail.com to be sure. This is a “teacher-directed” jam where we never know what songs we’re going to play\, but we’re limited to no instrumentals and no very fast nor very complex songs. \n\n\n\n6:30 pm – Kelley’s Intermediate Bluegrass Jam meets every week and is suitable for those who have some experience jamming already and can play songs and tunes\, recognize chord changes\, and play well with others. \n\n\n\n6:45 pm – Ed’s Fiddle Tunes at 80 BPM Jam now meets in the hallway behind the kitchen\, right by the stairwell to the garage. This jam focuses on classic bluegrass instrumentals played at very reasonable tempos. \n\n\n\n7:00 pm – Wayne’s Intermediate-to-Advanced Bluegrass Jam typically evolves out of Kelley’s Intermediate Jam and then moves out back unless the weather is nice enough to play outside. \n\n\n\nPlus\, jamming throughout the restaurant until all hours! \n\n\n\nFor more information about any of these jams\, please visithttps://bluegrasstuesdays.com/jams.html and email me at tonywatt@gmail.com if you have any questions.
