Mark Koenig plays July 5 at the Snoring Sasquatch.

Local singer-songwriter Mark Koenig will host an intimate evening of the songwriter and his songs. Koenig, a Juno nominee and two-time Canadian Country Music Award nominee, will be joined by his lifelong friend Miles Wilkinson, five-time Grammy nominee producer/engineer and session sideman from Nashville, Tenn.

Wilkinson is best known for the records he has produced and engineered for many musicians, such as Anne Murray, Emmylou Harris, Guy Clark, Darrel Scott, and too many more to mention, including Koenig.

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 Chet Atkins said is “the best guitarist on the planet”.

Advance tickets are $10, available at the Snoring Sasquatch, Kingfisher Quality Used Books or Black Bear Books, or $12 at the door. Doors to the July 5 show open at 7:30 p.m.; the shows starts at 8:30. To see a video, visit www.snoringsasquatch.com.
