Tall Tales From Cub Creek
The Music of Mark Elliott   volume 1

Hi all & welcome to the “new” newsletter. 
Here's wishing you much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!

"A Rough Wind:
The Impact of Industrial Windmill Facilities on Birds and Other Wildlife". 

 An Audubon Society documentary. 
The producer of this eco-film used several cuts from the American Road CD, including the end song
"From the Top of the Hill"

The New CD
PICKIN’ BLACKBERRIES

  Mark's road has led back to his Folk and Bluegrass beginnings. The new CD, “Pickin' Blackberries”, shares 12 new songs with some of the most respected names in acoustic music.
Mark's guitar and voice, coupled with the likes of IBMA winner Jim Hurst, National finger-picking champion/John Denver guitarist Pete Huttlinger and Americana divas The McCrary Sisters, make for a strong and genuine delivery of his captivating stories!

GREAT SUMMER & EARLY FALL TOURING! 
OLD FRIENDS & NEW FRIENDS

Mark played to old friends and new on his return visit to the sold out "Songs & Stories" series on Amelia Island.  Amelia Island is a cool Atlantic sea town north of Jacksonville, FL.
