I can't think of a better summer guest than Mark Bryan, the Grammy winning lead guitarist and founding member of Hootie and the Blowfish. Mark brings us up to speed on his 5 year old golden retriever siblings Riggins and Rosie and introduces us to his partner's two 2 year old toy poodle siblings Leo and Max who are all currently accompanying Mark on the Hootie and the Blowfish Summer Camp with Trucks Tour that runs through September.

Mark just dropped his Latin-flavored new single Don't Change a Thing this past Friday ahead of his forthcoming solo album Popped that's due out in October. To keep up with Mark go to markbryanmusic.com

Mark chose to give his shout out to bandmate Dean Felber who founded Dean's Dogs with his wife Andrea. Dean's Dogs is a unique 501c3 non-profit organization committed to rescuing and rehoming dogs in need. Inspired by their love for music and animals, Dean combines his passions by tossing to fans guitar picks adorned with the faces of adoptable dogs during his performances. Each pick represents a dog that you can help support through donations. For events, partnerships and donations visit deansdogs.org to learn more.
