page turner

Singer-songwriter Mark Stacy winds up his tour of local Borders Books & Music stores with a performance tonight in Northridge. Stacy lives and records in Nashville, but the Valley is not new to him. He grew up in Canoga Park and moved to Nashville only about five years ago. His primary musical influences were the Beatles and early rock guitar god Duane Eddy.

His new CD, “At This Table,” was recorded at his Nashville studio and has a country flavor, but Stacy does not consider himself a country singer. “I’m a songwriter,” Stacy says. “When I get an idea, I go with what I think the idea needs rather than try to stay in some single style.

“I’m somewhere between country and folk music,” he says. “I’d call it American music.”

Stacy performs at 8 tonight at Borders, 9301 Tampa Ave., (818) 886-5443.

Also at the Northridge Borders, author Lionel Rolfe will discuss and sign his book, “Fat Man on the Left: Four Decades in the Underground,” at 3 p.m. Saturday.

Rolfe is also scheduled for a signing at 2 p.m. April 3 at the Santa Clarita Barnes & Noble, 23630 Valencia Blvd., (805) 254-6604.
