Mark is presently the guitarist and musical director of Falu, a seven piece band that blends Indian classical and folk traditions with pop songwriting and orchestration. He writes and records with producer Danzy as the group “t1r1” and frequently works with drummer and songwriter Robert Di Pietro (Norah Jones, Jesse Harris) as the duo “Tewar and DP”.
