Mark Zierath performs beautiful fingerstyle guitar on Scenic Route
Mark Zierath is a resident of Cook County who has been living on the North Shore for nearly 15 years, most of which has been spent off the grid. He’s also a talented fingerstyle guitar player, though he’ll be the first to tell you he prefers playing for himself rather than lining up gigs and playing public shows. However, he did join the lineup of the seventh annual Grand Marais Ole Opry on May 18th, and came in to WTIP to play some songs in the studio ahead of the show. He talks with Will Moore about his musical background and the Dave Seaton-made guitar he uses to perform.
