You may have heard and marveled at Mark Lavengood as the dobro player with the fast-rising Michigan bluegrass-and-more band Lindsay Lou & The Flatbellys. Now's your chance to hear what he can really do—he has amicably left that band and is setting out on his own. Mark honed his skills on the dobro in Michigan's folk and bluegrass communities while working part-time at Founders brewpub in Grand Rapids. In addition to Lindsay Lou, he's played with Michael Beauchamp & the Barn Roughs, Nicholas James Thomasma, Kung Fu Rodeo, the Fauxgrass Quartet, and Strings 'n Things. Mark has been influenced on the dobro by oe Wilson & Drew Howard, Rob Ickes, Jerry Douglas, Andy Hall, Todd Livingston, Sally Van Meter, and Mike Witcher, and he's got some terrific, clever original tunes and a new album, "We've Come Along."
