I’m celebrating the national release of my upcoming album Lose me in the Sand at Brava Theater in San Francisco with 2 CD release concerts on Friday and Saturday, February 18 & 19. Advance tickets are available now.

This is going to be a very special show and I really hope you can come. We’re flying my string band in from Tucson for the occasion. Also, my dear friend, long-time collaborator and label-mate Seth Ford-Young will be opening the shows and celebrating the release of his self-titled debut CD.

Singing Together :: a workshop for people who want to sing with other people

Explore the interplay of your embodied voice with others in this 
three night workshop with singer and multi-instrumentalist Mark Growden. 
Through play, vocal exercises and songs from a variety of traditions 
and cultures, the two-hour sessions will join a wide range of 
disparate voices in wholly transcendent singing experiences.

Singing Together emphasizes the release of fear, the expansion of 
the heart and the liberation that singing brings.

No prior musical or singing experience required.

As a special bonus in conjunction with Mark’s CD Release concerts at 
the Brava Theater on February 18th & 19th, singers from the Singing 
Together workshop will have the option of joining Mark on stage at the 
shows to perform a song from the workshop. Singers will also receive 
a discount code to invite friends and family to be part of the 
audience for these special performances.

Show your support for Mark!

Hello all!

It’s Helena, director of sponsorships for Mark Growden’s CD Release.

We’ve had a tremendous showing of support for Mark’s efforts leading up to the CD release. We’re happy to announce that Bi-Rite Market, Delfina, The Crucible, Madusalon, Mona Caron, Stage Werx Theater, Sheilah Rogers Acupuncture LAc, Michael LaHood Productions, Eric Gillet Photography, and Tax Ninja have already joined as sponsors of Mark’s CD Release.

For those of you who don’t know, Mark has personally invested a very large amount of money, time and emotion in creating, producing, rehearsing, and manufacturing the album.

That being said, we want to invite you to support Mark and share in our appreciation for all of the hard work he has put into this project and into the Bay Area arts community.

Mark-Growden-Promo-2

I have created a page on Mark’s website showcasing all supporters and contributors to Mark’s work and upcoming CD Release. All of the primary sponsors are already listed at the top of the site. I want to extend an invitation to Mark’s community of friends, fans, and supporters to show your support with a donation.

Donations do come with perks, of course.

With a donation you will get a spot on Mark’s sponsorship webpage. The bigger the donation, the bigger the spot.

For $100 – Get an ad space with the name of you/your organization, a PR write-up of who you are and what you do, and a hyperlinked list of your contact information on the sponsorship page.

For $50 – Get the name of you/your organization and a hyperlinked list of your contact information on the sponsorship page.

For any donations less than $50, be it $49 or $5, your name will be listed as a sponsor on the website. Any donation counts. The money adds up and will help Mark greatly.

This is a great opportunity to support Mark, as well as get your name out there in the San Francisco arts and music community. With Mark’s website now getting hundreds of pageviews a day, it’s a few dollars well spent.


Click the button above to donate directly to Mark through his PayPal account. All contributions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing all of you on Friday!
