Seated, listening room style show

Making his Alluvion debut with his band, Mark Lavengood is ready to rip.

A sweet songwriter, picker, and master of the dobro, Lavengood will be joined by his talented friends Justin Advek on bass, Dutcher Snedeker on keys, and Loren Kranz on drums. Special guest Joe Rood will open up the night with a solo performance.

“Mark Lavengood is truly a treasure in our lives and his music and positivity shine through the darkness like no other. A great songwriter and a master on the dobro, I am honored to call him my friend.” — Billy Strings

Paying homage to tradition and blazing a trail all his own, Lavengood’s slide work and music is both playful and thoughtful. Having worked with Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys, Billy Strings, his John Prine tribute: Prine Time, and countless others, Mark is no stranger to the scene.
