Art Hop: Mark Sahlgren and Friends

Stringband and bluegrass music has been a near obsession for Mark since the 1950’s. Beginning with the Weavers and the New Lost City Ramblers, then delving further into the ‘roots’ music of groups like the Skillet Lickers and Flatt and Scruggs, the guitar became the driving force in his musical life. Having led his own band Sweetcorn for many years, developing recording projects, producing music festivals, teaching guitar workshops throughout southern Michigan, and hosting the radio program Grassroots on public radio for over 30 years – Mark remains active in Americana music.
