MARK BRAIDNER BAND (And Duo with Michael Conway)

Step right up for a deep dive into the roots of the blues with Mark Braidner and his powerhouse roots ensemble. Steeped in tradition and delivered with real conviction, Mark channels the spirit of the crossroads and the old-school juke joints—where blues was born out of grit, humour, and hard times. From authentic Dobro-driven riffs to gritty post-war blues and slide-soaked grooves, this is music that lives and breathes the tradition. Expect a strong dose of hokum blues spirit too—playful storytelling, rhythmic drive, and that cheeky, good-time energy that kept early blues audiences dancing through the night. This is raw, unfiltered roots music with a modern edge—sweat, soul, and swagger in equal measure. Every performance is a journey through the heart of the blues, delivered with authenticity and fire. If you want the blues the way it was meant to be heard—earthy, honest, and alive with character—Mark Braidner brings it straight from the roots to the stage.
