Mark Dufresne is one of the most sought-after Blues talents in the Northwest, and the guy is even more popular in Europe. Dufresne reformed his band in 2016, bringing back guitarist Billy Stapleton from his original quartet, and ever since they’ve been one of the best dance bands around. The Washington Blues Society has awarded Mark its “Best Vocalist,” “Best Songwriter,” and “Best Harmonica Performer” prizes more than any other artist. Hands down, one of the best Rhythm-and-Blues outfits on the West Coast—a dancer’s dream!
