PRICEY DIGGS

Pricey Diggs is Mark McMillen on keys and vocals along with Annie Boreson on Cajon, percussion and vocals.

Growing up in Boulder, CO Mark played in various bands in the late 60's and 70's until gravitating to the music scene of San Francisco. He then spent a number of years on the East coast splitting time between NYC (where Chaka Khan recorded his composition, "So Not To Worry") and the Florida Keys with his own band.

He began his European adventure in the 80's living in Ibiza, Berlin, Milan, and spent ten summers in Biarritz, France, followed by three seasons in French Alp ski resorts with his house band.

After those life changing years of music, surf and ski, he moved inevitably to Los Angeles and began what turned into twenty-five years of touring with RnB singer/songwriter legend Bobby Caldwell ("What You Won't Do For Love").

Mark co-wrote "Call Me Up", "I Give In", "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", and "What About Me" with Bobby, all in the Caldwell discography. Mark also has recorded three CD's of his own, "It's About Time", "Mark McMillen" and the latest, "Keenyo," which all feature original songs. He has shared the stage and opened shows for Santana, Tina Turner, Weather Report, Randy Crawford, Boney James, Eric Benet, Al Cooper, Anjani, Leonard Cohen, Ramsey Lewis, and Brian Auger.

He and his wife Annie have recently embarked on camper inspired road trips up and down the California, Oregon, and Washington coastlines as the duo "Pricey Diggs". Annie (Tipsy Licks) on cajon/vocals, and Mark (Pricey Diggs) on keyboards/vocals, play a variety of R&B, Latin, Reggae, Jazz, Country, Pop, Funk, Rock, as well as originals.

Showtime is 7:30PM.

MARK DUFRESNE BAND

Since reforming in 2016 with founding guitarist, Billy Stapleton, this current version of the Mark DuFresne Band has been wowing audiences in the Pacific Northwest. Grammy nominated Mark DuFresne is at the helm with his 3-octave tenor voice, and his championship harmonica playing. A dynamic singer and showman, DuFresne’s original rhythm and blues songs and instrumentals shine in the hands of this talented quartet.

Veteran Guitarist, and recent Washington Blues Society Hall of Fame inductee, Billy Stapleton, is kept busy with rhythm, lead and slide guitar duties. Billy's fantastic tone and artistry are second to none.

Kelly Liefer brings powerhouse skills on his Fender Bass. A Marysville, Washington native, Kelly has been playing since the age of 15 and immediately started playing in bands and clubs including the 1974 Seattle Worlds Fair. He was the original bass player for The Mark DuFresne Band, and his energetic style is sure to keep your feet tapping all night long.

On drums, the accomplished and brilliant David Hudson shows off a lifetime’s collection of grooves and chops. Inspired by the terrific trio of Sonny Freeman, Fran Christina and Fred Below, David’s swingin’ dynamic attack brings depth to the tunes and is a perfect accompaniment to DuFresne’s brand of blues/roots style.

The Mark Dufresne Band is not your typical blues fare. This spectacular “show band” plays the material like a quintessential Chicago Blues Revue. They are truly one of the best rhythm and blues outfits on the West Coast.

Showtime is 7:30PM.
