For some reason, the words “violin” and “rock” don’t seem to go together.
We know, there’s a great cello part in that Nirvana song and The Killers are taking a violinist on tour this summer, but still. It just doesn’t seem right. Especially when Mark Wood (try to click that link without laughing) looks just like Yngwie Malmsteen.
Nevertheless, Carlsbadistan’s Museum of Making Music is hosting Mark in concert on Saturday July 26, 2008.
Wood’s musical retrospective of the modern electric violin features nearly 50 creations from his early experiments building electric violins. Mark recounts crafting violins as early as age 10. A progressive development of prototypes would eventually become the model for the 7-string Viper violin, a symbol of the modern rock violin revolution.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for museum members and $7 for students. For tickets and information, contact (760) 438-5996, ext. 212 or visit www.museumofmakingmusic.org.
