Mark Newton Band
Mark Newton may not have been a household name to fans of roots/acoustic music a few years ago, but the release of his first solo CD in 1998, Living a Dream, and its subsequent success, went a long way toward "re-introducing" this bluegrass veteran to the public. Originally from Paducah, Ky., Mark Newton was born into a musical family. Mark’s father played mandolin, guitar and fiddle and his mother was an accomplished pianist, so it was no surprise that Mark took to music as well, first appearing on stage at the age of fourteen. The family moved to Fredericksburg, Va. in 1960 where Mark was lucky enough to grow up surrounded by a culture rich in music. The DC area of Virginia in the mid-60’s was a booming scene for festivals, and Mark took advantage of this by traveling every weekend to take in shows.

- Freewheelin’ is a group of four well-known regional musicians consisting of strong vocals and rhythm backed with the hot instrumentation of banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass.
- Freewheelin’s goal is to present the music of North Carolina and Southwestern Virginia in a fresh, new way that will appeal to all demographics. Freewheelin’s stage show will keep the whole family entertained with traditional, contemporary, and original tunes pumped up into hyper-drive! Of course, just a splash of humor keeps the show moving along.
