Walking Mirrors

Connecting to Community Through Live Music Walking Mirrors wrapped up their 2022 public show debut with a sold-out Album Release show  at Rancho Nicasio in December, after blow-out Fall performances at HopMonk Novato and Sweetwater Music Hall.

Formed in late 2019 by singer songwriter Mark Nelson and lead guitarist and producer Craig Bartock (Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Inductee band HEART), the band has assembled some of the  top rock musicians in the North Bay (thirty-year Joe Satriani drummer Jeff Campitelli and ranked the 50th greatest drummer of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, Bad ass bass player Angeline Saris (Todd Rundgren, Narada Michael Walden, Zepperella), and shredding guitarist Aidan Nelson (Deer Hollow, Berklee College of Music).

Delivering a classic but insanely original brand of reflective rock n roll, the band is led by Craig’s ripping guitar tones and overall musical direction, and Marks carefully crafted story-telling and raw vocals. The music is heavily influenced by the raw energy of the Rolling Stones and storytelling and approachability of Tom Petty. The band’s live sets include carefully selected songs from our twenty-five-piece original catalogue, and a host of synergistic cover songs thatjust make you feel the way you were meant to feel. Damn good.

Walking Mirrors released their second studio album Nothing Left for Gray at the end of 2022, three years after cutting their self-titled album back in 2019. Both albums are certain to “move you.”

For the band, everything we do comes back to community connection and support…what can we do, as artists and musicians, to make the lives of others just a little bit better, and brighter.

In service to our mission, all WM ticket proceeds are donated to local not for profits. In 2022, beneficiaries included Bridge the Gap CollegePrep, Sweetwater Music Hall, and Nicasio Volunteer Fire Department.
