a big part of the 1980s folk revival in Greenwich Village, where he
headlined the local clubs, co-founded the GV Folk Festival, and wrote
"American Jerusalem," “Every Living Thing,” ”White
Buffalo” and “A Sailor’s Prayer,” among his songs recorded by
Shawn Colvin, Jonathan Edwards, Happy Traum, The Crimson Pirates, and
many more. With Mark

including his latest “Rants And Romance.” Mark
Dann
has also produced more than two hundred other artists and played bass
on dozens of albums and tours.Their organic performance of
MacDonald’s driving guitar, tenor vocals and songs both romantic
and “flush with astute observations and commentary on the current
stage” (Goldmine
2023)
with Dann’s freewheeling bass is brilliantly captured in the 2017
DVD “Live in Germany” as seen on youtube and other streaming
sites.

Silverback
Swing
performs vintage jazz of the 1920's and 1930's in the style of Django
Reinhardt, the great Gypsy guitarist. This
style of jazz was popular in France, where they adapted American jazz
into their own form, eliminating horns and using accordions, clarinets
and violins. Silverback Swing have been
performing as an acoustic jazz quarter in New England for over 8 years, with Mark Anagnostopulos
on rhythm guitar and vocals, Alton Lathrop on lead guitar, Gus
Hollingsworth on accordion and vocals and Steve Frankel on bass.
