Mark Winters will be performing in the Heriot Bay Inn, on Quadra Island, at 3:00 PM on Sunday, April 26th. 

The Texan based singer/songwriter recently told Cortes Currents,  “I picked up music a little later than most, in my adult life after I got a degree in aerospace engineering, of all things. Music has always moved me as a listener, and I wanted to do something musical. In 2011, I picked up a guitar to play a song for my wife for our anniversary. It was the most joyful experience I’ve ever had in my life, and I became obsessed with the feeling of connection you get when you perform live for others.

“I’ve learned a lot about how you build a tour. Last year I did a spring and a fall tour, and both of them had Canadian legs. So I played a show in Vancouver, and that part of the country is phenomenally beautiful. I took a run along the little bay that wraps around up to the Children’s Museum up there, and I felt like I was running in paradise. Then I heard about the island and the live music scene there—the Heriot Bay Inn has such a great vibe. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to talk to the booking people there to play a show, maybe write a few songs while I’m there enjoying the Bay.”
