Family price: $8 (all ages event) - Everyone welcome Mark Stafford has been singing and playing harmonica for 25 years. He is well known in the community and internationally as a performer and blues educator. In fact he has been invited to conduct a workshop for 150 high school students at the upcoming Buddy Guy show at Massey Hall April 5th.
He will be performing at the Concord with the solid partnership of Aaron Griggs, a great guitar player that knows Mark's material and more. And you can be sure that these matinees will attract some great musicians from near and far that will sit in for some exciting music. Last month we had Steve Hammond join us on the kit.
