Mark Telesca Performs
Cultural Gems Series
Thursday, January 09
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Join us to hear from acclaimed singer, songwriter, guitarist, bassist, band leader, and author, Mark Telesca.
"The story of Mark Telesca is proof of the healing power of music. Diagnosed with lymphoma, pummeled with chemotherapy, confined to his home for the better part of a year, he wrote and self-published a book (Love Music Hate Cancer), and then self-produced and self-released Higher Vibrations: Solo Acoustic Blues where he sings his blues with the force of a Mack Truck on a gravel road, finger-picks some absolutely exquisite and complex guitar and thumps that bass on his own wildly creative songs like “The Electric Chair” and “Something Just Ain’t Right” which will absolutely haunt you. He also instills new life into classic material from the dustbin of time like Al Green’s “I’m A Ram,” Robert Johnson’s “Come On In My Kitchen,” Blind Willie Johnson’s “Keep Your Lamps Trimmed And Burning,” Mississippi Fred McDowell’s “Louise” and Leroy Carr’s “How Long Blues.” I could listen to this guy all day." Mike Greenblatt - Goldmine Music Collector's Magazine
