Recently discovered is this recording of Mark Rice performing for what appears to be the first time a new, unfinished song “Hold Me Now”. It was recorded on an ipod, however the drive and emotion found in Mark’s music translates even through the rough recording.

November 11, 2006 held a special treat for fans of thoughtful acoustic music in the greater Philadelphia area, as local songwriter Mark Rice introduced new material at the Treehouse Coffee Shop in the cozy hamlet of Collingswood, New Jersey. The fine autumn evening proved warm enough for an open door, so that with the entryway positioned beside the performers, the gentle flow of traffic and pedestrian shoppers presented a shifting backdrop to the music, while inside, the espresso machine punctuated the sounds of the sparse crowd.

On Saturday night Mark will be stepping up to the mic around 6:00pm with no one to accompany him but his trusty acoustic guitar and smooth voice, although there is always the chance of one Verien Brotzman showing up with a box or something to bang on. It is expected that he will be on for at least a solid 45 minute set, after which he will yield the mic to popular local act, Juniper Jazz Trio.

In the past, fans of Rice’s music have recieved a poor reputation for being a bit stingy with their New Jersey show support. When asked, one fan responded quite frankly, ” …Free show my ass! It costs 3 bucks to get home from it.” Rice has commented only to say that he does not appreciate these fans’ attitudes but understands where they are coming from, however all are equally welcome to attend any show that he is playing, either in Pennsylvania or New Jersey.

Come one, come all to the Treehouse this Saturday night!
