About Me |
|
"the first time I saw Mark solo I have to say his voice growled like a delta bluesman when not having to compete with a band" - tony jaggers, mojos and jellyrolls After 2 years of honing his solo show in the sticky carpeted smoky drinking holes across Australia MARK EASTON has released his first solo album on the PLASTIC DONUT LABEL and distributed by ONLY BLUES MUSIC MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL is full of stomping grooves! its darker than previous albums! if the title track and the 13 other songs that been recorded are any indication of what is to come your in for a surprise, it captures Marks live energy and showcases his multi instrumental prowess, the songs are built around the loops he creates on the fly and layered to create a band vibe without the headaches! its a more than worthy follow up to BANDWAGON, and in some ways its back on track from where GREENER left off, with some inovative and cutting edge slide guitar playing! MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL is number 1 on the acoustic blues charts this week at MP3.com.au SO TIED UP has picked up airplay on BLUES DELUXE Americas biggest blues program "THE NEW SONGS HAVE BEEN ABSOLUTELY FLOORING THEM LIVE" nominated in 2 catergories at the AUSTRALIAN BLUES MUSIC AWARDS BEST NEW TALENT BEST ALBUM "BANDWAGON" nominated in 3 catergories at the BLUE STAR AWARDS BEST AUSTRALASIAN BLUES BAND BEST ELECTRIC GUITARIST BEST ALBUM "BANDWAGON" |
