Mark Allan Atwood @ The Redbird - 7:30 pm

From playing Dallas area songwriter hangouts as a teenager, to being tour support for dozens of national major artists, and constantly performing from the southernmost tip of Texas, to all points north, Mark Allan Atwood has been spreading his stories and original songs across the Lone Star State for 40+ years.

A four-time Texas Music Awards recipient (including Best Male Vocalist 2013), Atwood has scored a handful of Texas radio successes from five full-length albums of his own creations, from an award winning debut, How Country, in 2009, to his latest, Old Scars & Sandbars, from March of 2023. Both "Happy Thoughts" and "Pedal Down Life" from that most recent album, reached new heights with fans of independent music, in Texas and nationwide.

A resident of what he calls "Almost Mexico" (South Padre Island) for 8 years, Atwood has played to thousands of island visitors, but has been back on the byways of TX full time since the summer of '22, performing his musical stories of right and wrong, love and loss, and the occasional bit of poetry about bugs. https://markallanatwoodsmusic.com/
