Mark Growden 
Mark Growden is an internationally renowned multi-instrumentalist and artist based in San Francisco, CA.

As a composer, multi-instrumentalist and performer, Mark Growden has released several critically acclaimed albums. He has completed many successful US tours, performing at venues such as the Fillmore and Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and Tonic and The Knitting Factory in New York.

Mark has composed original musical scores for a number of Dance and Theater companies, including Joe Goode Performance Group, The Crucible's Fire Odyssey, and Alonzo King's Lines Contemporary Ballet, with whom he and his collaborators won the Isadora Duncan Award for Best Original Score for a New Dance Piece. He has scored several films, including "Blood Tea and Red String," which won Best Animation at both the San Francisco Independent Film Festival and the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal.

Growden co-founded and co-produces the underground site-specific performance series COVERT along with famed artist and troublemaker John Law, of Cacophony Society and Suicide Club fame.

Growden's newest album, Saint Judas, is his first studio album of songs in eight years. Recorded live in the Bay Area, it is a stunning exploration of moments of pain and catharsis, love and transformation, tenderness and desire. Saint Judas is a rich and haunting collection of stories and melodies that embraces and celebrates the saints and sinners in each of us.

Mark is currently touring the western US in promotion of Saint Judas, which will be released on Friday, November 13th, at the Cowell Theater at Fort Mason in San Francisco.
