SUMMARY:An Evening of Music with Mark & Raianne
DESCRIPTION:Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards Photo by Trailing Twine Photography\nPLEASE NOTE: THIS EVENT WAS POSTPONED FROM AN EARLIER DATE. TICKETS ARE STILL AVAILABLE!! \nJoin us for a night filled with beautiful melodies and soulful tunes. Mark and Raianne will serenade you with their enchanting voices and captivating music.

Reserve your seat today!! \n  \n  \nMark & Raianne are a married couple who entertain with unmistakable vocal harmonies\, poetic lyrics and down-to-earth personae. These musically talented artists have contributed over seventeen albums within their first decade and toured consistently throughout the US and Canada. Accompanying themselves on guitar\, Mandolin\, harmonica\, ukulele\, penny whistle\, electric bass\, tenor guitar and most uniquely clarinet\, their live performances are both musically captivating and spiritually uplifting as audiences are carefully balanced between serious songs and humorous commentary.Making Promises (2024) is the fourth eponymous studio release by contemporary folk songwriters Mark Mandeville & Raianne Richards. This album replete with poetic lyrics\, sophisticated musical arrangements\, and mellifluous vocal harmonies will be a welcome addition to your collection from their twenty-year partnership. Much of the material inspired by their recent marriage in 2021 reflects on themes of love\, desires\, perseverance and promises\, with much of the music sparsely arranged as duets with upright bass accompaniment by longtime friend Zack Ciras (see indie-folk trio the accident that led me to the world). Two compositions recorded between 2021-2023 include bandmates Doug Williamson (piano) and Peter Hart (pedal steel)\, with the majority recorded in Northfield Massachusetts during December 2023. \nFor more information visit markandraianne.com
