MARK STUART / THE IRISH BROTHERS

MARK STUART

Mark Stuart is a singer, songwriter, and performer who brings stories to life with every note he plays. From swampy blues riffs to Beatles-esque melodies, from razor-sharp fingerpicking to searing slide guitar, his music is an unfiltered, road-worn reflection of a life spent chasing songs. He’s shared stages with legends, but his voice—and his guitar—are the kind that leave their own mark.

Mark’s musical versatility screams out loud, weaving together rock, blues, folk, country, and more. Travis-style, Chicago blues, honky tonk country, finger-style folk—all are there when you hear him. He could, at any given time, toss a Paul McCartney or John Fogerty or Woodie Guthrie song into his set.

His songs are often autobiographic pieces, constructed from the viewpoint of a lifelong troubadour who is paying attention to the world he sees around him.

THE IRISH BROTHERS

The Irish Brothers are Sandy “Sandyman” Flynn and “Captain” George Hergen, who have come together for the grand spirit and experience of Irish music in song! They’re a unique team–Sandyman comes from the mountains of Western North Carolina with the Captain hailing from the canyons of New York City.

The two started performing together thirty-five years ago when they worked ‘suit’ jobs at IBM. Both draw from their Irish heritage for material—from traditional Irish ballads to original songs of love, drinking, revolution and redemption.

Sandy is a former songwriter on Music Row (Tree-Sony/ATV) in Nashville, and toured nationally and internationally with the band Cullowhee for 10 years. George started singing and playing after his first visit to New York’s Greenwich Village in the mid-1960s, and honed his craft by traveling throughout Ireland with the great Tommy Makem.
