Mark performing with Ashley Krouse

Mark played a song or two with Ashley Krouse on Saturday, August 7, 2010.

I think it was in Anaheim, CA...but I'm not sure what the event was.  I think it might have been part of the Shaklee Conference. Ashley is a part of that and it happened August 4-8, 2010.  And since Mark was performing with Ashley, (bdwayb3 was Ashley's old twitter name...she just changed it), and Ashley was in Anaheim...  lol you see my deduction skills... haha. 

Mark tweeted that he played guitar on "Some Kind of Wonderful".  He posted two pics:

This song is not my style as is, but an acoustic version could be interesting. :)

Performances from Project Angel Food's inCONCERT

Here are the two performances by Mark Ballas and Joanna Pacitti from the Project Angel Food inCONCERT fundraiser.  Project Angel Food (not to be confused with Angel Food Ministries - a different charity) is "the only free service in Los Angeles County that prepares, cooks, and delivers daily meals to men, women, and children affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-threatening illnesses." (from PlanetOut)  If you would like to know more about Project Angel Food, check out their website: http://www.angelfood.org/.

The 5th Annual inCONCERT took place on October 17, 2009 at the Howard Fine Theater in Hollywood, California.

Mark and Joanna sang "Falling Slowly" (from the soundtrack to the film "Once") and Joanna sang "Angel from Montgomery" with Mark on guitar.
