You can find Carolyn Mark’s full bio on her website (linked above). Meanwhile, here’s what some of the press has to say about this lovely and talented artist.

Mark’s music is so authentic in its back porch vibe, it seems to come with its own direct link to Loretta Lynn’s ’60s heyday-like her heroes, Mark is not afraid to rail against a man too drunk to understand his own fuck-ups. Not to say Mark is some kind of saint: Her gigs are known for their off-balance candor and ribald humor as much as the homespun tunes. Go for the music, stay for the dirty jokes.

Mark’s witty on-stage banter carries over into her cleverly poetic songs, mixing tinges of real emotion and heartbreak with biting sarcasm and a love of good drink. Performing with both an additional guitar player and a violinist, Mark’s songs were perfectly suited to the atmosphere provided by the eager bar patrons, as fiddle-filled songs about boozy days off on tour tend to be. Performing a set mostly composed of brand- new material from her forthcoming full-length, Nothing is Free, these songs tended to show- case Mark’s less-funny musical tendencies, highlighting her more subtle abilities as a powerful emotional songwriter.
