A few fun facts about Mark – He’s an internationally-acclaimed composer, director, and multi-instrumentalist performer. He has toured the US many times, playing venues including the Fillmore and Great American Music Hall in SF and Tonic and The Knitting Factory in New York. He has composed award-winning scores for films, dance and theatre productions. Long story short, the guy is talented. I’ve spent many hours discussing tour stories, music PR/marketing, and classical music with him (I’m a classically trained pianist, by the way), and we’ve quickly become bros.

You can read more about Mark and listen to tracks from his newest album on his website – www.markgrowden.org.

Anyway, here are some photos from the backyard.

Another fact worth noting – His backing band (pictured with him at the top) also happens to be the backing band of Tom Waits. Fun facts indeed.

END!
