🎶 Mark Schatz | The Solo Show at 49 West
🗓️ Friday, May 23 @ 7:30 PM
📍 @49 West Coffeehouse, Winebar & Gallery – Annapolis, MD

Don’t miss an intimate night with Mark Schatz, two-time IBMA Bass Player of the Year and a true force in American roots music. You know Mark from his work with Béla Fleck, Nickel Creek, Tony Rice, and countless great American music recordings. Locally, Mark is known as a founder and performer with Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble. Check out the video below, and you'll know why! 👏

Whether he’s laying down groove on the upright bass, tearing it up on clawhammer banjo, or throwing in a bit of hambone and Appalachian dance, Mark’s solo show is a genre-hopping, toe-tapping masterclass in musicianship and joy.

✨ Grab a seat, a glass of wine, and a plate of shrimp & grits or bacon-wrapped scallops—and settle in for a night of killer music and cozy vibes. Dessert? The bourbon pecan pie’s calling.

🎟️ Reservations strongly encouraged!
