On Sunday, April 21, 2024 @ 2pm at the Strand Theatre, please join us for a matinee concert with Mark Tolstrup and Jill Burnham as they play Roots blues, Americana, gospel and their soulful originals.

Based in Upstate New York, Mark and Jill meld their vision and talent for a taste of New Orleans meets Austin. NY Blues Hall of Fame bluesman Mark Tolstrup and sultry Texas singer Jill Burnham come together where the Delta meets the Rio Grande. Over a haunting slide guitar their voices soar and blend in harmony. Mark and Jill bring a fresh original interpretation to the earliest roots of the blues. Their original songs deal with both the hard realities of life and the joys of being alive. 

Mark & Jill won the 2022 the Capital Region Thomas Edison Awards “Blues Artist of the Year”. They are the winners of the Capital Region Blues Network competition and were finalists in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis May, 2022.
