INTERNATIONAL GUITAR CHAMPION IN CAPE GIRARDEAU

Mark Kroos Plays Two Guitar Necks at the Same Time

April 2nd, 2015 (Charlotte, NC) -- First Baptist Church in Cape Girardeau is bringing guitar champion Mark Kroos in for a concert on Wednesday, April 22nd at 6:30 PM. Admission is free but a love offering will be taken.

Mark Kroos plays two guitar necks at the same time with a tapping technique that involves both hands fretting the strings. It creates a very explosive and energetic genre that is as entertaining to watch as it is to listen to. Mark is the winner of Guitar Player Magazine's 2011 International Guitar Superstar Competition in Nashville has shared the stage with artists like Sister Hazel, Edwin McCain and Phil Keaggy. Mark also holds sponsorships with D'Addario Strings, Kyser Musical Products and Ovation Guitars.

"Mark Kroos plays with a sensitivity to the music and positive energy that is truly refreshing."
