Mark Belanger
Mark Belanger returns to Flat Iron Cafe on Saturday, August 21, 2010 starting at 7:30 PM.
Fresh off of gigs at the Soule Homestead and the Eddy Homestead, Middleboro’s own Mark “Bellicose Bumpkin” Belanger is returning to Flat Iron Café with new material and new guitar techniques. When asked what he was planning for the evening, Belanger said: “I’ve been experimenting with claw hammer guitar and while I’m not quite there yet, I’ll be doing a few songs with a sort of hybrid claw hammer technique that gives a really interesting percussive sound.”
Belanger has been playing guitar in various rock bands since the late ’70s before steering towards Americana music in recent years including old time, bluegrass, and folk along with deep cuts from more tradition rock and pop offerings and original music. He will be playing a mix of old time, bluegrass and folk as well as deep cuts from bands like The Beatles, Warren Zevon, Tom Waits, and a smattering of original music.
Join Mark and his growing flock of groupies at Flat Iron Café – located at 444 Centre Street in Middleboro – on Saturday, August 21, 2010 from 7:30 to 10:30 PM for what’s sure to be a great night of great music, food and friends. And, as always, while you’re listening to some terrific bluegrass and folk music, you can enjoy Flat Iron’s famous pizza at half the usual cost.
Flat Iron Café is celebrating its fourth year in business at 444 Centre Street in Middleboro, Massachusetts.
