About this event

Mark Jewett is an insightful Michigan native storyteller who writes songs that push the boundaries of Americana into an uncommon blend of folk, rock, blues, and prog rock. He has been recording and performing with his group, known together as “Mark Jewett & The Strategic Advisors” since 2019. The group recorded Mark’s 2nd full length album, “The Lucky One” together which was released in 2021 as well as a string of singles that followed. In 2026, the band peformed in front of enthusiastic audiences at Michigan’s Nor-East’r Festival in Mio and at The Ark in Ann Arbor. The band is comprised of some of SE Michigan’s finest musicians, including Billy Harrington (drums & vocals), Michael Harrington (pedal steel, electric & acoustic guitars), Ken Pesick (bass), Amy Petty (vocals & guitar) and Dale Grisa (keyboards). The band is extremely versatile and Mark considers every band performance to be a self-contained variety show where fun is as prominent as stellar musicianship.
