CLARKS SUMMIT — The second in a series of Coffeehouse Concerts will be held at The Gathering Place, 304 S. State St., at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 17. This event will feature Mark Stuart, musical artist on the Americana/Folk circuit.
Currently on tour in eastern states, Stuart will do a songwriting/guitar workshop and talk about his songwriting ideas from 4 to 5 p.m., then from 5 to 6 p.m., he will have a “mini” concert for all.
Stuart, a Tennessean, has cultivated a very rounded performance by integrating storytelling, flashy guitar “chops” and songs that draw from his rock, blues, country, and folk music roots. He has toured solo or in a duo with his wife, Stacey Earle. His guitar skills have been showcased on tours with Freddie Fender, Steve Forbert, Steve Earle and Joan Baez. With his wife, he owns Gearle Records and has built a career of songwriting and performing on the grassroots level.
In addition to his stage career, Stuart runs guitar clinics, songwriting workshops, and recording sessions. His career spans several decades and performances in US, Canada, Europe and the UK.
The public is invited to attend the concert and workshop or any one of the two sessions. Donation of $10 at the door. For more information, visit www. GatheringPlaceCS.org, call 570-881-7612.
