Owens
Show
#1
Mark
Owens started playing guitar after finding one under his Christmas
tree when he was 12 years old. A California native, Mark grew
up in the San Fernando Valley, where he was inspired to play by
listening to his father, as well as Chet Atkins, Muddy Waters,
and BB King. After playing and singing surf music in several local
bands, Mark started playing at clubs in the Pasadena and Glendale
area. Upon moving to Hawaii in 1984, Mark was influenced by several
prominent Hawaiian slack-key guitarists and began experimenting
with alternate tuning.
It was then he began to concentrate on his instrumental playing
and no longer sang during his performances.
Moving
back to California in 1995, Mark has since played with David Crosby,
Jim Messina and Jackson Browne. Mark's latest CD "Places
in a Dream" contains all original compositions, and features
his brilliant exploration of alternate tuning techniques and the
use of a guitar synthesizer.
"Performing
at the Sunset Ranch took me back to years long gone by, when nature
was untouched as far as the eye could see." ....Mark

Martin
Paris Show
#6
Martin
Paris is a talented and well rounded acoustic guitar player who's
music is most inspiring. Musically his songs range from melodic
to up tempo as he shows an excellent feel for song arrangements.
With his debut CD, "Influenced," fans have called his
music catchy, beautiful and though provoking.
Martin
learned his craft from his late father, Ed Paris, who taught him
at age twelve. "Some of my early musical influences, besides
my father, include James Taylor, the Doobie Brothers, and the
general sound of acoustic guitar in modern rock. As I got older
my experimentation with alternate tunings led me to some of the
great finger style guitarists of our generation such as Laurence
Juber and Peppino D'Agostino."
Martin
grew up on the Central Coast of California where he resides with
his wife and four children. Martin's music has been featured on
AEF's environmental television show "R-Environment"
and has been very popular with the viewers. With Martin's busy
schedule we have had a hard time scheduling him for a visit at
Sunset Ranch. We have finally found the time and look forward
to showcase this talented songwriter performer.
"Many
times songs will work themselves out on the guitar as I feel an
emotion from events in my Life. Music is a gift from God I love
to share." .... Martin Paris
