Mark has been attending the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade show at the Anaheim Convention Center since his days as an editor at Frets magazine in the late ‘80s. This is the ultimate candy store for those interested in music business products - a presentation of instruments, electronics, publications, and every piece of musical gear you can imagine. Included are concerts and appearances by some of the industry’s biggest names. Mark’s recent book, Travis Pick the Hits! will be on display. The event is restricted to trade members.

Mark and Greta continue their Southern California weekend with a concert at Emmanuel Presbyterian Church in Thousand Oaks, California. Lots of guitar instrumentals and fun vocal tunes! Admission is by goodwill offering. The address of the church is 588 Camino Manzanas. Directions.

Mark and Greta bring their high-spirited show to the venerable non-profit Cafe Artichoke (the performance hall at the Artichoke Music store) at 3130 SE Hawthorne Blvd. in Portland. Performing with them will be Philadelphia fingerstyle ace Tim Farrell. (You hear Tim on NPR and Echoes.org all the time.) Tickets at the door.
