Mark Joseph was Inspired and forever changed by witnessing the virtuosity of “The King of Blues” (BB King). Shortly after he was gifted his first guitar in 1991, at the ripe age of 10. The subsequent decades, two thousand plus live shows, five full length albums and multiple EP’s, have permanently written Mark Joseph into the sonic history he was inspired by so many years ago. Yet the blues was the common thread throughout for this Minnesota born singer, songwriter, and guitarist. Mark is also a full time member of The Big Wu, Momentary Lapse of Floyd and various other projects.

The White Keys
August 28; September 1
6:30 PM - 10:30 PM
The White Keys have been rocking parties around the country since 2007. Using cover songs from the 1960s, 2000s, and EVERYTHING in between, the energetic duo brings a unique live experience to every occasion.
The White Keys are made up of Sebastian Davin (Vocals, Piano) and Allen Maier (Drummer Extraordinaire). Although just a duo, fans are consistently shocked that there are only two people on stage filling out all that sound (you can do a lot with piano and drums). They both started as touring musicians in the critically acclaimed band Dropping Daylight. In 2007 Sebastian convinced Allen to leave his hometown of Cleveland, OH and The White Keys began bringing their unique style of live entertainment across the country.
