Mark Graham and Tom Sauber

To kick off our new series, we're honored to present two of my favorite musicians, Mark Graham and Tom Sauber. Mark is flat out one of the best harmonica players and funniest songwriters in a faux traditional ballad idiom on the planet. With Bob Childs, Mark and I were even briefly in a band together, the famous Shameless Seamus and the Shimmering Shamrocks, whose debut and concluding performance was a 14-hour St. Paddy's Day stint at a pub in Philadelphia... Mark has St. Paddy's day gig horror stories and other tall tales galore with which to regale you. With guitarist and fellow King of Mongrel Folk Orville Johnson, Mark was a past performer at Anchor East.

This trip he's joined by a wonderful multi-instrumentalist, Tom Sauber, who was one of the influential musicians on the scene when I was just starting to play in Southern California in the mid-1970s. Though most recently known for his work with Tom, Brad and Alice (Brad Leftwich and Alice Gerrard, that is) his contributions to traditional music have been many and varied over the years. I can't imagine a more exhilarating combination of talent and wry humor for a night of the best of old time music.
