Still\, his music sounds like a much needed revival for our mod ern times.\n\n\n\nMark’s voice\, effortless flat picking guitar style\ , humor and sincere delivery will win an audience over. “A talent that is sure to be a force in roots country music (Roots Music Report)”. H is album “Troubadour (2011)” has songs like “Train Whistle Blues that have the feel of an instant classic. Meanwhile songs like “Shad ow on the Moon” and “Redbirds” speak to the depth and romance embe dded in Mark’s songwriting\, as he addresses matters of the human spir it and the heart.\n\n\n\nAt least a couple dozen artists have either per formed or recorded Mark’s songs including Dave Rawlings and Gillian We lch and Austin stalwart\, Toni Price. Mark worked with Rawlings and Welc h\, playing acoustic guitar on Welch’s “Soul Journey” album (elect ric guitar on “Wrecking Ball.”) Dave Rawlings produced Ambrose’s a lbum\, “Put The Hammer Down” in Nashville at RCA’s historic Studio B. Both Rawlings and Welch played and harmonized on the record.\n\n\n\n Mark’s particular charm\, laid back and charismatic\, is deceptively s imple but also satisfyingly profound as the very best of folk music shou ld be.\n\n\n\nPlaces where Mark has played:\n\n\n\n\nThe Living Room\, L ittle Rock\, AK\n\n\n\nPeace Acoustic Cafe House Concert\, Conway\, AK\n \n\n\nSadlacks\, Raleigh\, NC\n\n\n\nThe Garage\, Winston-Salem\, NC\n\n \n\nThe Evening Muse\, Charlotte\, NC\n\n\n\nSawbriar House Concert\, Pi lot Mountain\, NC\n\n\n\nLate Week Lazy Boy Supper Club\, Archer City\, TX\n\n\n\nJimmy Rogers Festival\, Kerrville\, TX\n\n\n\nFlipnotics\, Aus tin\, TX\n\n\n\nThe Cactus Cafe\, Austin\, TX\n\n\n\nThe Bugle Boy\, La Grange\, TX\n\n\n\nAnderson Fair\, Houston\, TX\n\n\n\nThe Old Quarter\, Galveston\, TX\n\n\n\nBeans and Leaves Coffeehouse\, Long Grove\, IL\n\ n\n\nUncommon Ground\, Chicago\, IL\n\n\n\nThe Montrose Saloon\, Chicago \, IL\n\n\n\nThe Rockford Listening Room\, Rockford\, IL\n\n\n\nCork &am p\; Tap\, Oregon\, IL\n\n\n\n\nEnjoy samples of Mark Ambrose’s music\n \n\n\nhttps://www.markambrose.com/music.html\n\n\n\nFind out more about Mark Ambrose\n\n\n\n\nWebsite: https://www.markambrose.com/\n\n\n\nFace book: https://www.facebook.com/mark.ambrose.52\n\n\n\nYouTube: https:/ /www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnYkm76d4EKvLuX5Lpwqh73oSvsqDVJTA\n\n\n\ nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markambrosemusic/\n\n\n\n\nDon’ t miss Mark Ambrose\, Stage Left Cafe\, 125 Van Buren St.\, Woodstock\, Friday\, June 14\, 2024\, 7:00 pm / CDT (doors open at 6:30 pm).\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWant to perform?
