Mark Shelton: The Accidental Shredder

Mark Shelton might best be known for his epic metal stylings in the band Manilla Road but when San Francisco Bay Area label boss Mike Varney asked Shelton to turn up the shred for the compilation U.S. Metal III, Shelton was only too happy to comply with “Flaming Metal Systems.”

The guitar in its many forms and styles is featured throughout June across our music programs. For more information about the shows and their features and to listen to KMUW music shows anytime online, visit our website at kmuw.org.
