Don't miss Mark Karan & Jemimah Puddleduck!! If you are a true Dead Head you'll know the musical genius of Mark Karan.  

Mark Karan is best known for performing with the extended Grateful Dead family.  For the last twelve years, he has anchored the lead guitar slot in Bob Weir & RatDog, playing hundreds of shows to thousands of fans year-round.  Before crossing over into the land of the Dead, Mark worked his guitar and vocal voodoo for the likes of Dave Mason, Delaney Bramlett, the Rembrandts, Paul Carrack, Huey Lewis, Jesse Colin Young and Sophie B. Hawkins.

Mark also tours with an array of amazing musicians in Jemimah Puddleduck, where his soulful blues-based vocal stylings and inspired guitar work meld with the remarkably creative and responsive playing of his friends in a passionate delivery of the psychedelicized sounds of Americana. This is where rock meets R&B and country and mixes with the soul of New Orleans… with healthy portions of reggae, folk, funk and whatever else the muse might bring.

His friends in Jemimah Puddleduck are JT Thomas (Bruce Hornsby) on keys, Bob Gross (Albert King) on bass, and Wally Ingram (David Lindley, Sheryl Crow), Joe Chirco (David Nelson Band, Zen Tricksters) or Billy Lewis (Roy Rogers, Tommy Castro) on drums.  They have also included the original drummer John Molo (Phil & Friends, MoonAlice), and Carlo Nuccio (Emmy Lou Harris, Tori Amos) on drums as well.

In addition to Mark’s originals, as well as those of songwriter friends, Jemimah Puddleduck covers a range of eclectic songs from Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "You Can Stay (But the Noize Must Go)" and Peter Tosh's "Don't Look Back", to the Kinks’ “Lazin’ on a Sunny Afternoon” or Joe Jackson’s “Fools in Love” -- the unique musical taste and song choices are the hallmark of these shows, and always crowd pleasers for the nationwide, loyal fanbase.

Mark’s debut album, “Walk Through the Fire” was released in 2009 to critical acclaim, and features very special guests Delaney Bramlett, Bill Payne, Mike Finnigan, Pete Sears, John Molo, Hutch Hutchinson, The Persuasions, The Rowan Brothers, and many more.  He is both a studio musician and producer, having produced numerous albums for other artists, and recorded or composed a wide variety of music for film, television, and music libraries.  His contributions to TV alone can currently be heard on over 15 networks and internationally in over 25 countries.

Jemimah Puddleduck has toured the country performing at festivals and clubs for the last ten years, and has developed a national fanbase. They have also been showcased in live performances and featured interviews on SiriusXM, commercial and specialty radio nationwide.
