Description
MARK GROWDEN Return Engagement! -- Multi-instrumentalist singer/songwriter. Will he play a banjo, an accordion, or a bicycle
handlebar? We'll leave it to others to describe what he does:
"Torrid lyricism and fierce accordion rascality. His live shows are
becoming the stuff of legend." - East Bay Express. "Mark Growden has
to be one of California's most colorful and intriguing
musicians...Growden is a genius..." - Albuquerque Alibi. "A sight and
sound you don't want to miss." - S.F. Bay Guardian "Growden’s Music
is a calliope of tangos, marches, pedal steel blues, and eloquent
acoustic ballads. In his hands, parade scores unravel to become
inebriated waltzes. Ballads are stretched thin and poked with forks.
Melodies dance like wicked children. He’s adept at knocking
traditional notions of music slightly off-kilter, to better fit our
ears." — John Paczkoski, S.F. Bay Guardian
