Mark Rees will be performing in the lower pavilion at the Perryville Campground on July 31st from 7-10 pm. Anyone camping that weekend will be admitted free and the public is welcome to attend for a $5.00 entry fee. Coolers with drinks and snacks are permitted.
Mark and his wife, Rita reside in Jackson, MO so he is one of our great local talents. He sings and plays acoustic guitar. Mark is mainly a solo act but when he was here in June, a couple of his friends delighted us all by singing a few songs with Mark.
Here is a bio that I took from Mark's Facebook Fan Page for those of you who aren't familiar with him:
"Mark began playing the guitar at the age of six. For many years, he played alongside his parents and sisters, but eventually helped to form "The Santa Cruz Band" which played all over Southeast Missouri and Southern Illinois.
In recent years, Mark has developed a solo acoustic act that demonstrates his remarkable gift of singing, songwriting and playing the guitar. You can also find him playing / singing on most every Thursday night and Sunday morning at the Cape County Cowboy Church in Fruitland, MO.
Mark is often asked to sing originals that have quickly become church favorites, including "He Was There", "One Good Memory of Mine", and "Jesus Doesn't Live There Anymore". Mark is currently working on two CD projects, which will include many of his original songs based on people and places that Mark has come to know and love, including "My Nephew, The Soldier", "Walkin' Bob", "Grandpa's Song", "Colorado", "The Front Porch", "Red Corvette" and of course, "Little Miss Attitude". He also hopes to have a live version of his original gospel songs recorded in the near future!"
We hope to see a lot of Mark Rees fans here and make a lot of new ones on July 31st!
