Mark Braidner

Step right up and witness the true roots of the blues with Mark Braidner and his powerhouse rootsy blues outfit. With a sound steeped in tradition, Mark channels the spirit of the crossroads—where legendary bluesmen once sold their soul for musical immortality. From authentic Dobro riffs to gritty post-war blues, this is a band that doesn’t just play the blues; they live it.

Get ready for a rare, one-shot performance at The Foresters on Festival Saturday, where Mark Braidner will take you on a journey through the very soul of the blues, delivering hokum-infused grooves, heartfelt storytelling, and raw, unpolished energy. It’s classic juke joint vibes with a modern twist—guaranteed to take you back to a time when the blues was about sweat, soul, and authenticity.

If you want to hear the blues the way it was meant to be heard, with soulful slide guitar and foot-tapping rhythms, then this is the show for you. Don’t miss your chance to see Mark Braidner, a true keeper of the blues flame, bringing the roots of the music to life in one unforgettable set.
