Carolyn Mark and The New Best Friends

Referred to sometimes as “the other Corn Sister” and by others as “Ethel Merman’s other, funnier sister” — and once knighted “Drunk of the Week” by Seattle’s The Stranger — Carolyn Mark is known as a slurrin’ country sweetheart with a whiskey voice, whose wit and sincere storytelling has made her one of North America’s most lovingly appreciated alt-country stars. Her songs of life and heartache are infused with her unique humor and observations that create a performance like no other. She performs with The New Best Friends.

Part of the Speigeltent festival, the performance begins Saturday at midnight.
