The Mark Dufresne Band feat. Billy Stapleton
The Mark DuFresne Band featuring Billy Stapleton is not your typical blues fare.
This spectacular “show band” plays the material like a quintessential Chicago Blues Revue Band. This quartet is truly one of the best rhythm and blues outfits on the West Coast.
Since reforming in 2016 with founding guitarist, Billy Stapleton, this current version of the Mark DuFresne Band has been wowing audiences in the Pacific Northwest.
With Grammy nominated Mark DuFresne at the helm with his 3-octave tenor voice, and his championship harmonica playing at full force, Mark’s powerhouse skills are sure to captivate and entertain. A dynamic singer and showman, DuFresne’s original rhythm and blues songs and instrumentals shine in the hands of this talented quartet.
Veteran Guitarist, Washington Blues Society Hall of Fame inductee, and Lifetime Achievement award-winner, Billy Stapleton is kept busy with rhythm, lead, and slide guitar duties. Stapleton’s artistry is second to none.
On Fender electric bass, the rock solid Kelly Leifer is the perfect foundation to this rocking rhythm section.
teve Peterson is best known as the drummer for “The Kingsmen”. He has toured the world and plays a variety of instruments as well as owning his own studio. A gifted composer and producer, Peterson always plays the "perfect part.” An excellent singer in his own right, Steve performs locally in Los Orchids and the Annie Eastwood Quartet, Billy Stapleton’s Powerhouse and the Billy Stapleton Trio.
