A Guy and His Guitar... and Heaps of Talent

Takoma Park resident Mark Sylvester is blessed with unusual musical talent. He plays acoustic guitar, fretless and upright bass, banjo and mandolin with astounding proficiency. "Urban Nocturne" showcases my favorite aspect of Sylvester's performances, his ability to sound melancholy and playful simultaneously. You can see Sylvester solo on the guitar on Wednesday, March 22 at 8:00 p.m. at Kramerbooks and Afterwords Cafe and Grill on Connecticut Avenue in the District, or catch him on the bass with Iain Campbell Smith at Iota Restaurant and Bar in Arlington on Sunday, March 26 at 8:00 p.m.
