River Falls Music in the Park presents the Mark Cameron Blues Band from 7-9 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13 at Veterans Park (1 N. Main St., River Falls).

Minnesota-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist Mark Cameron has been active in live music for over 30 years. Cameron began performing in the rich folk-rock scene of the early 1970s and brought this influence into several bands he founded during the 1980s and 1990s. Today his focus is centered on crafting original blues songs with strong melodies and memorable lyrics. The range of Cameron’s material stretches blues music beyond safe limits, with a focus on “foot-stompin', butt-shakin'” music that is built for a live audience.

A charismatic frontman and soulful guitarist, Cameron delivers his original compositions with a mix of sincerity, honesty, and often, a touch of humor. He is equally at home on acoustic and electric instruments, and his vocal range stretches from basement-baritone to full-on growl. His original lyrics draw the listener in and paint a picture of the many worlds within the blues.

Music in the Park is the longest running event of the Community Arts Base (CAB) of River Falls, beginning in 1992.
