Mark Kroos: Two Neck Guitar Concert

Overview

The Friends of the Richland Library present Mark Kroos: Two Neck Guitar Concert.

In 2009, Mark bought his first double neck guitar with the intention of playing both necks simultaneously. Through hours of practice, determination, the influence of his role models and the sheer joy of creating, Mark found his style, which is most characterized by compositions like All God’s Children Have Wings and Pedals Press the Floor.

Mark was the winner of Guitar Player Magazine’s Guitar Superstar Competition in 2011, hosted by guitarist Larry Carlton and overseen by judges Muriel Anderson, Reeves Gabrels (The Cure) and Carl Verheyen. He has had the honor of sharing the stage with artists like Phil Keaggy, Calum Graham, Antoine Dufour, Trevor Gordon Hall, Gareth Pearson and Alexandr Misko among others. Mark has also had the pleasure of collaborating with artists Lance Allen, Avery Bright, Judson Hurd and Dylan Ryche.

Notable concerts include Muriel Anderson’s All Star Guitar Night, The 2020 Acoustic Canvas Festival, The Olalla Americana Music Festival, The National Old Time Fiddlers’ Festival, Halftime Shows for the Orlando Magic and The Rock Boat hosted by Sister Hazel.
