Mark Karan Matinee at HopMonk Tavern
Date: Sunday, March 2, 2025
Time: Doors Open at 1:00pm and Music at 2:00pm
Mark Karan sometimes describes himself as "sort of a male Bonnie Raitt filtered through a psychedelic blender". A modern day classic, Karan oozes passion and rock and roll spirit, presenting his music in creative ways that make folks perk up, dance... and maybe even think a bit after the shufflin’s done.
Best known for his extended time around the Grateful Dead scene as lead guitarist for Bob Weir & Ratdog, Mark is far more than his time in the "land of the Dead" might imply... a consummate team player for many years, his six-string contributions have added something special to tours with Ratdog, The Other Ones, Delaney Bramlett, Dave Mason and Paul Carrack... and as a "value added" guest for impromptu sit-ins with the Allman Brothers, Trey Anastasio, Gov't Mule, Jackie Greene, ALO, Levon Helm, Chuck Leavell, Little Feat, Phil and Friends and many more...
Recently the San Francisco-based singer-songwriter-guitarist has been preparing to launch a new interpretive band inspired by David Gilmour and Pink Floyd called the Gilmour Project, featuring Mark, Jeff Pevar (David Crosby, Ray Charles), Prairie Prince (Todd Rungren, Starship), Kasim Sulton (Todd Rundgren, Blue Oyster Cult) and Scott Guberman (Phil and Friends), touring with “Live Dead 69”, anothrr interpretive band based on Grateful Dead material and featuring Mark, Tom Constanton (original Grateful Dead keyboardist) and Slick Aguilar (Starship and David Crosby).
