Barnstead Parks And Recreation Summer Concert Series

On Saturday, July 30 please join Barnstead Parks and Recreation in welcoming Just Passing Thru to the summer concert stage.  The evening promises to bring a blend of older country songs, roots rock and original songs penned by Mark Huzar and lyricist Ann Barden.  Lead by vocalist and guitarist Mark Huzar, the band also features Mark’s longtime collaborator and friend, John Michaud, on drums, Jimmy Howe on bass, and Rod Babka on fiddle.

 

Mark is a regular in the series, having already given a dynamite solo performance in June.  His other band, Tore Down House, which he leads as its singer and guitarist, will be appearing in August.  He also plays the bass guitar with the Yeah Guys.  A multi-faceted musician, Mark writes and sings, and plays guitar, bass guitar, drums and keyboards.  He has been performing for decades.  As to his musical style, Mark has this to say, “I’ve been influenced by music from all over this world.  I really don’t subscribe to putting a label on music, I think that limits the possibilities of what a musician can express… In other words, play what you feel.”  In addition to his extensive musical pursuits, Mark is a skilled luthier who in his free time enjoys riding his motorcycles, creating culinary delights, snowboarding and adventuring.

 

The show starts at 6:00 pm.  The Barnstead Historical Society will be on hand offering concessions.  Remember to bring a lawn chair or blanket and a friend or three.  As always, smoking and alcohol are prohibited on the Parade Grounds.  Come enjoy this free event and show your support for local music!
