"An acoustic blues master with a genuine feel for the classic works of such blues legends as Robert Johnson, Son House and Leadbelly, Tolstrup slides and slashes up and down the neck of his National Steel guitar as effortlessly as if he was born with it in his hands.-Greg Haymes - Albany Times Union 

Joined by Jill Burnham on vocals, Woody Strobeck on trombone, Frank Orsini on fiddle and Tony Markellis on bass. Together they produce a sound from the roots of American music moaning low with the blues and rollicking with the joy of traditional jazz of New Orleans.

Mark Tolstrup and his band mate Jill Burnham were also recent winners of the Regional International Blues Challenge held at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs, NY. They will travel to Memphis in January 2020 to compete in the International Blues Challenge Competition.
