John Mark Nelson and his four-piece band will appear at the Arrowhead Center for the Arts on Saturday, October 4. In addition to a great concert, the North Shore Music Association is hosting its annual silent auction.

At 7:30 p.m. Oct. 4, the NSMA will present John Mark Nelson and his four-piece band at the ACA auditorium. The concert is held in conjunction with the annual silent auction, which begins at 6 p.m.

Now 20 years old, Nelson has racked up an impressive list of accolades, gaining the support of local DJs and musicians such as indie-pop songwriter Jeremy Messersmith.

Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current remarks, “Only 20 years old, John Mark Nelson sings with a slow-smoked croon that belies his age, and he fills his lyrics with sharp, detailed observations of life and love in the Midwest. This folk-pop songwriter has racked up an impressive list of accolades, too.”

The North Shore Music Association’s annual silent auction will feature an array of unique high-quality items, all donated by local organizations and businesses. Proceeds from the auction benefit NSMA’s 2015 season.

For more information about the auction or concert, call the NSMA at (218) 387-2916.
