Welcome to our fifteenth episode of Mark’s Park: An Evening with Vasti Jackson & Friends!
As the music fills the air and the night comes alive, get ready for an unforgettable evening of blues and soulful rhythms with the incomparable Grammy-nominated Vasti Jackson and an incredible ensemble of musicians. Vasti’s mastery of the blues, soul-stirring vocals and fiery guitar grooves ignite the night with passion and emotion, where every note tells a story.
Mark’s Park is filmed in front of a live audience in PFC co-founder/producer Mark Johnson's backyard in Venice Beach, California. This series brings together the diverse group of people, who call Venice Beach home, in an effort to connect the world through music. A portion of the proceeds from Mark's Park will benefit the Playing For Change Foundation—an international nonprofit organization, operating 34 music programs in 25 countries, established to create positive change through music and arts education.
