It is with much sadness that we tell you of the passing of our dear friend Mark Armstrong.
Mark has been a regular performer at Briggs Farm since 2007. His last show was on the Back Porch Stage last summer and it was a wonderful thing.
In addition to performing, Mark painted all the signs for the festival. We kept him busy when he and his wife Sue came to the Blues Festival from their home in Nashville. Painting signs and playing the Blues made him happy.
I first met Mark on a trip to Clarksdale, Mississippi with Dale Wise and since then we’ve shared many memorable Blues experiences.
Thank You Mark for your support and friendship. Rest in Peace “Brother Man.”
