Loren and Mark, guitarists whose varied repertoire crosses genres,

guys are widely admired by their musical peers, including guitar god
Tommy Emmanuel and Grammy Award-winning producer Lloyd Maines,” said
DCCA Artistic Director Keith Rawlins. “Their spontaneously creative
show consists of amazing guitar duets and beautiful vocal harmonies,
along with delightful interaction between the two musicians and their
audiences that keeps everyone engaged and entertained,” Mr. Rawlins
concluded. The concert begins at 8 p.m.
Loren Barrigar and Mark Mazengarb first started playing together in
2010 at the Chet Atkins Guitar Festival in Nashville, where they earned
a standing ovation. The duo has since toured extensively across the
U.S.A., as well as Canada, Europe, and Mark's homeland of New Zealand,
generating a rapidly growing fan base around the world. Loren is known
as the youngest instrumentalist to ever appear on the Grand Ole Opry,
playing “Yackety Axe” and “Steel Guitar Rag” on the legendary show at
the age of 6.
