Mark Dufresne brings the Blues to Vashon!

"Mark DuFresne is as distinctive as a vocalist as he is a fiery player; rather than recycling old riffs, his original compositions are tuneful, melodic and grooveworthy."

- Blues Review Magazine

Get ready for the hottest blues happening in the Northwest today. On August 20th, blues legend Mark DuFresne and his band are on Vashon for the first time playing a show to benefit Vashon Community Care. Without doubt, it’s going to be an incredible, tear the house down, kickin’ blues show you’ll be talking about for a long, long time.

Mark is one of the most sought after harmonica and vocalists in the Northwest. In 2002 he was lead vocalist with "Roomful of Blues" which won a Grammy nomination for "That’s Right". They won the W.C. Handy award for Best Band in 2004. The New England Blues monthly awarded Mark Best Blues Vocalist, and The Washington Blues Society chose him as best vocalist, songwriter and harmonica more times than any other artist…ever. Mark’s mastery of the chromatic harmonica is considered some of the most innovative in blues music. His ability to circular breath has left audiences amazed.
