MARK KARAN'S BUDZ
About this Event
Mark Karan describes himself as delivering great songs with emotional and musical authenticity along the lines of his favorites like Dr. John, The Band, Taj Mahal, Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, etc., then filtering them through a psychedelic blender when it's time to PLAY!
Best known for his extended time around the Grateful Dead scene as lead guitarist for Bob Weir & Ratdog, The Other Ones, Phil & Friends and Planet Drum, Mark is more than his time in the "land of the Dead" might imply... his six-string contributions have added something special to recordings and tours with Delaney Bramlett, Dave Mason, Sophie B. Hawkins, the Rembrandts and Paul Carrack... and as a "value added" guest for sit-ins with the Allman Brothers, Trey Anastasio, Gov't Mule, Jackie Greene, ALO, Levon Helm, Chuck Leavell, Little Feat and many, many more...
Recently the San Francisco-based singer-songwriter-guitarist has been playing well received live shows with the grammy winning Dave Alvin in a newly minted interpretive americana band called “the Third Mind” & touring throughout the year with “Live Dead & Brothers” (an interpretive “mash-up” of “Grateful Dead” & “Allman Brothers” material) and the David Gilmour/Pink Floyd inspired “Gilmour Project” playing nearer to home with his own band, “Mark Karan’s Buds”.
Mark also recently finished recording and mixing his newest record and is embarking on perhaps the most personal phase of his career yet. Given his vibrant chops, warm voice, and intuitive, inspired grasp of music, it’s bound to be an exciting time.
