• "It was an impeccable performance. Never have I witnessed such control of the steel stringed guitar's sound. This was a flawless show."

    Mark Twang, Folkways Recordings

  • "Lemaire has received critical kudos from the industry as well as his musical peers. Performing with Cindy Lemaire, the blend of voices adds a perfect exclamation point to Mark's virtuoso guitar playing and songwriting."

    Pasadena Weekly

  • "God, you must practice a lot to play so cleanly. I’ve been recording and creating music for over 50 years and I still find it extremely challenging switching from the art of writing and playing, to dealing with the science of recording. You do both!"

    Loren Jones
    composer & guitarist

  • "The mix of instrumental (Mark's expertise with the guitar amazed our friends), duets with Cindy (their voices blend beautifully as one), humor and short stories to introduce the songs – it was perfect. Mark and Cindy's rapport with our friends was almost magical."

    Sylvia and John Schofield

  • "It was a master class in finger style and harmony singing. One of many highlights — for me — was Mark's solo fusion of 'Whiter Shade of Pale' and Bach's 'Air on a G String.' Simply breathtaking."

    Don Hurley
    Ruskin House Folk Club, Croyden, UK

  • "Mark's guitar playing is exemplary, breathtaking at times, and Cindy has a wonderful voice. The rapport with the audience creates something very special: it is almost a communion."

Mark’s music runs from instrumental guitar (Rubato, Equinox) to matched vocals with Cindy Lemaire (Cambridge Cowgirl, Home Isn’t Home) — the harmonies so aligned that they often seem like two people with one voice. As a recording engineer, his clients have ranged from Jimmy Miller (Rolling Stones, etc) to the San Francisco Symphony. Mark's musical well is deep. The work is nuanced, real, and unlike anything else you’ll find.
