First Arts Station Concert Series Performers - Carolyn Mark with Rodney DeCroo
09/30/2010

Outspoken and intelligent, Carolyn Mark was destined to make music and take no prisoners doing it. With her subversively witty lyrics and a voice as beautifully varied as her musical styles Mark holds audiences hostage. With an arsenal of songs Mark will pluck at your heartstrings as deftly as she will on the guitar strings. Her gigs are known for their off-balance candor as much as the homespun tunes. Go for the music, stay for the dirty jokes.

Tickets available at The Arts Station, Freshies, and Carosella. www.carolynmark.com

Thursday, September 30 at 8 pm
