Band Reflections
Formed in 2019 by singer songwriter Mark Nelson and lead guitarist/producer Craig Bartock (Rock n Roll Hall of Fame Inductee band HEART), the band has assembled some of the best Rock n’ Roll All-Stars in the Bay Area.
Delivering a classic but insanely original brand of reflective rock n roll, this Rock n’ Roll Super Group is led by Craig’s ripping guitar riffs and overall musical direction, and Marks carefully crafted story-telling and raw vocals.
The band’s live sets include carefully selected songs from their thirty-piece original catalogue, and a host of synergistic cover songs that just make you feel the way you were meant to feel. “Awesome.” The music is heavily influenced by the pure energy of the Rolling Stones and storytelling and approachability of Tom Petty.
Over the last five years, the band's "movement" has taken the North Bay live rock n’ roll music scene by storm. After tearing down the house at all the major Marin venues (Sweetwater Music Hall, Hopmonk Novato and sold-out Rancho Nicasio) multiple times, the band is expanding it’s live performances across the Bay Area.
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 reflectively “move you.”
In service to our mission, all WM ticket proceeds are donated to local not for profits. We have raised (including sponsorships) over $300 thousand dollars.
To date, beneficiaries have included Town of San Anselmo’s Live on the Avenue, Corte Madera Summer Concert Series, Redwood Credit Union Community Fund (Raised over $100k), Town of Occidental, Bridge the Gap CollegePrep, Sweetwater Music Hall, Nicasio Volunteer Fire Department, and Mark Day School.
