Mark Wills is performing live at the Calaveras County Fair & Jumping Jubilee, May 17

The award winning Mark Wills has scored 8 top 10 hits and has made a name for himself as the gifted interpreter of such tender sentiments as “Wish You Were Here” and “Don’t Laugh At Me.” The Academy of Country Music’s Top New Male Vocalist of 1999 has staked his claim as one of country music's top male performers by carving out a niche for himself by creating his own moving renditions of such R&B love songs as “Back At One” and “Almost Doesn’t Count.” His hit-packed musical legacy includes his unforgettable ballads “Places I’ve Never Been,” “I Do (Cherish You)”, and “She’s In Love.”

It is not surprising with the Fair’s Mark Twain connection that we have chosen an artist who was the voice of Huck Finn in the star-studded animated feature film Tom Sawyer and had two of his musical performances also appear on the soundtrack. In the new millennium, his career heated up again. His bopping, fun-loving single “19 Somethin’” and “I Fooled Around and Fell in Love” are sure to please fans.

The Mark Wills concert will be on the Frogtown stage. The concert is INCLUDED with admission to the Fair.
