After raising a family of three, Canadian-born jazz guitarist Mark Guest finds that the “empty nest syndrome”, or what he laughingly calls “post-adulthood”, offers him great freedom to pursue artistic ambitions. The 48-year old Guest recently moved to the Gulf Coast from South Carolina and is now enjoying life as a jazz guitarist. Mark combines his thirty-eight years’ experience as a guitarist with his life-long passion for jazz to create musical moments of inspiration and transcendence.
