Creston Valley singer-songwriter and Juno Award nominee Mark Koenig will be joined by Gary Snow at the Snoring Sasquatch on Nov. 29.
Koenig got his start in the 1970s playing guitar and singing harmonies with Ann Murray. He also had the privilege of sitting beside renowned guitarist Lenny Breau for three years, who is quoted by Chet Atkins as “being the best guitarist on the planet.”
Koenig is a B.C. singer-songwriter whose dynamic live performances have received accolades from critics and won him fans of all ages and walks of life. He has been performing professionally for more than 30 years and is as comfortable playing Calgary’s Saddledome in front of audiences of thousands as he is playing festivals, concert halls, auditoriums, coffee houses, and private performances.
Snow was born in Kansas City, Mo., and has been playing bass since 1967 when he did his first gig for money, a whopping $1.25, and has been touring and doing recording sessions ever since. He has played with many great musicians including touring with Michael Martin Murphy and fiddle legend Vassar Clements.
Although he has played and recorded with mostly American musicians, Snow worked several years with Canadian singer-songwriter Cameron Molloy and played on Cameron’s song, Diamonds in the Dark, which went to No. 2 on the Canadian music charts.
Tickets are $12 in advance, available at Kingfisher Used Books, Buffalo trails Coffee House and Black Bear Books, and $15 at the door, which opens at 6 p.m.; the show starts at 7.
