LOVE & PROTEST: SONGS FOR AMERICA Hoping to find my own way of celebrating America’s 250th birthday, I have collected a dozen of songs that address my faith in and love of my country into surprise release called Love & Protest: Songs For America. This record of unreleased demos, acoustic interpretations, album tracks, and live concert recordings is a benefit for Artists For Humanity, available now on my Bandcamp page. DOWNLOAD Love & Protest: Songs For America CHECKING OUT This time of year it always feels like we should hang a giant “gone fishing” sign on our collective screen door and just check out for awhile. Understandably, there is much we may wish to ignore: war(s), political corruption, the gutting of environmental protections, inflation, wildfire smoke, AI, and so, so much more. As one semi-allergic to following sports—you do you, it’s just not my thing—it feels like more than a little of our World Cup fervor could be chalked up to desperately wanting a reason to pay attention to anything but the news. Beyond the headlines, the challenges we face are real, pervasive, and seemingly intractable. We cannot count on our representatives to agree on the objective nature of reality, let alone compromise on legislation. The rising tide we might hope to be sound economic policy lifting everybody up? It’s probably just an increase in actual sea levels due to climate change. And yet, hope visited us a couple weeks ago on orange and black striped wings, teetering on the summer breeze. After a several year absence, the monarch butterflies have returned to the milkweed patch along our driveway and laid a dozen eggs! Monarchs are feather-light miracles, and the caterpillars hatching at our house are the great or great great grandchildren of the population overwintering each year in the alpine forests of Mexico. They will hatch in late August and somehow navigate all the way back to those Mexican forests, a place from which they are removed by thousands of miles and three or four generations. I scour the underside of the milkweed leaves daily, looking for the tiny egg a female will lay near the top of a plant. Finding one, I shake off predators like ants and spiders before enclosing the egg and surrounding leaves with a fine mesh bag. I’ve been checking seven or eight bags every few days, making sure the eggs hatch and the larvae are feeding and growing safely. It’s my new job: butterfly farmer. You could argue that these butterflies are simply my way of checking out. But I’m still intensely aware of what’s happening in the world, and what could happen (or not) as we approach our mid-term elections this fall. My obsession with the monarchs embodies my fixation on hope, an effort to find even the smallest of levers that I can push on to move the needle of my optimism. I can’t open the Strait of Hormuz, but I can help these insects continue to do what they did for millennia before we developed our fields and meadows. Professionally, I am using my art to raise money for charities like Artists For Humanity, a local group that supports and mentors teens into a life in the arts. It feels good to use the tools at my disposal (aka my songs) to try and (ahem) change the world within my reach. If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed, I humbly offer you Love & Protest: Songs For America, some new and unreleased music, alongside some choice album tracks, hopefully serving as a reminder of all that is worth fighting for and striving toward. GOT GROTON TICKETS YET? I am beyond excited for this very special “Mark Erelli & Friends” show at Groton Hill Music Center this fall. Two of my dearest musical friends Lori McKenna and Amy Helm will join me and my band for a joyful, collaborative evening. The show is already over halfway sold out, so don’t sleep on those tickets. Give yourself something to look forward to in November! GET YOUR “MARK ERELLI & FRIENDS” TIX NOW! FALL CALIFORNIA TOUR WITH MAYA DE VITRY Have you heard the news? I’m coming back to the west coast this fall on a co-bill with Maya De Vitry! Just California this time around, but I’m determined to get back to the Pacific NW on a different trip. I’ll be solo, she’ll be duo, and we’ll look a bunch of ways to collaborate. Tickets for all shows are on sale now! SHOWS Thu Aug 6 - Cock N’ Bull Restaurant, Galway NY - 7 pm I’m coming back here for the food…and I guess I’ll just happen to be playing a show as well (hahaha). Actually, I’m very excited because my son Owen will join me on keys for this show, and I’ll be paying him in filet mignon. This will be a special night, with great music and food comas for all. Fri Aug 7 - Boston Harbor Hotel, Boston MA - 6:15-7:15/7:45-8:45 pm Free show with my band as part of our summer residency! Fri Aug 21 - Boston Harbor Hotel, Boston MA - 6:15-7:15/7:45-8:45 pm Our last summer residency show! It’s been so fun getting to stretch out, playing long acoustic and electric with a rotating cast of band members. This will be my last show around these parts until the big one in Groton on Nov 21, so come out and enjoy the waning days of summer with us. ON THE HORIZON Sun Sept 20 - North Shore Point House Concerts, Norfolk VA Sat Sept 26 - Daily Brew Coffeehouse & Lounge, Falmouth MA Fri Oct 16 - Iron Horse Music Hall, Northampton MA MP3 of the MONTH I took the whole band from my new album Spring Green on tour with me this spring. It was expensive, logistically-challenging, and honestly one of the most beautiful musical experiences I’ve ever had. To hear the song realized in real time, exactly the way they feel and sound in my head, heart, and soul, and to be able to share that with you, was really something. Here’s a live version of “In Waves” from our very first show together on Cape Cod. It’s available for the month of August at my Bandcamp page. Enjoy! SIDEMAN SECTION Nothing on the books, but you never can tell where I’ll show up next! SPRING GREEN TOUR MERCH I still have some merch! Spring Greenon green vinyl or CD, or grab a t-shirt or an autographed “Spring Green” lyric poster, you can buy one on Bandcamp! A WORD ABOUT PATREON - JOIN OUR PATREON COMMUNITY! I love streaming music, and stream much of the music I listen to. But streaming does not translate into support, if we define “support” as “generating enough income to keep the lights on and fund the creation of more new music.” This is not your fault, we are all victims of tech companies’ unsustainable (except for them) model. The best way to sustainably support my creative output is by getting a subscription to my Patreon. As you're thinking about what you want to support in the coming year, I'd be honored if you made my music one of those things. For as little as $5/month ($60/year), you can help me do things like release new songs, make new albums, and tour consistently. In return, you get early access to all new music and much more. Thank you for your support! peace, mark https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b92798f297114438e12b14a/1574097322238-DRHU232L5YL6MVKMRVST/Image+11-18-19+at+12.14+PM.jpg Newsletter - Watch Mark’s performance from the 2019 Americanafest at the Ryman Auditorium!
