NEW SINGLE OUT TODAY - RIDE ON

It all started when I was detained by a State Trooper deep in the American heartland...

At the time the band decided it was time for a collective hiatus, my family & I were still rebounding in the wake of our cancer recovery. I was in a personal and musical pit unsure of what I wanted to do next when I received an invitation to tour solo into the US. It was something to hold onto and on a whim took it up to see where I landed.”

Driving late through Missouri my rear view mirror filled with flashing lights followed by the command to get out of the car...

I was taken into the patrol car while the Trooper ran my licence and checked my visa. After a tense few minutes we got talking about music, family and the chaos of the U.S election campaign that rang out across the small broken towns he patrolled.

Fifty minutes later I walked free from the patrol vehicle clearer on my next step ahead. It was a surreal experience sitting on the other side of the world swapping stories of unfulfilled dreams and new beginnings with an officer of the law. Somehow that conversation helped me understand where I wanted to go next giving me the confidence to step forward and not look back.

The Trooper let me off with a warning, with a final piece of advice. As I stepped from the car I thanked him, he looked me square in the eye and said, “It’s okay son, ride on.”

This next step with my music lwas made possible though the generosity, energy and support of my family and long-time friend and producer Nick Huggins (Jen Cloher, Kid Sam). Between surfs we uncovered a new sonic landscape for my songwriting to inhabit and I am looking forward to sharing what we made in the back shed over the coming months.

I recorded 'Ride On live with guest appearances from wonderfully talented artists Hollie Joyce, Chris Bolton (Seagull), Jess Elwood and Nick Huggins. They helped me channel the spirit of release I found that night in the middle of Missouri as I stepped out of the Trooper’s car a free man.

Thank-you to Craig Johnston, Nick huggins & Steve Mitchell for the photos & working with me on the art. Legends!

Hey Friends,

It has been a long time since we caught up. I have been living down the coast working away in the shed on a new music and surfing with my little guy.

I wanted to reach out and let you know the Melbourne Recital Centre have invited me to launch my debut solo work on Saturday the 28th of April. This will be the only headline Melbourne show for a while as I am headed back to Canada & Europe touring this year.

The show falls on my birthday weekend which is a great excuse to catch up with friends and it would special to have you there to celebrate the release of new work.

Acclaimed Melbourne animators and visual artists Leigh Ryan and Graeme Altman have created a beautiful animation and set design that transports the new live show into an immersive experience. I cant wait to share it with you and finally play the Recital Centre as its one of those special places to experience live music in.

Tickets are limited in the salon theatre so best get them while you can.

Hope to catch up then.

Cheers,

Mark
