“Listening to Mark, my first reaction was, 'Hell no, he didn't just go there, did he?' But after a few spins, I found myself thinking, "Yes, and I'm damn glad he did." The world benefits from singer-songwriters who are not afraid to take on sacred cows.”

ABOUT MARK WESTIN

Mark Westin is an Emmy-nominated composer and songwriter. His lyrics evoke Randy Newman, John Prine and Harry Nilsson, while his guitar playing shows influences of James Taylor, John Fahey, Rory Gallagher and Tampa Red.

Mark crafts character-driven narratives that are funny, biting, bittersweet, and human.
 "The stories I tell come from equal parts imagination and real life," says Mark. "Not everything in there is necessarily true, but it's always inspired by actual people or events  I've seen."

Mark has recorded three albums and six EPs of original songs. As a featured artist and sideman  he has performed across the United States, in Canada and the United Kingdom. He also leads ReBurt, an 8-piece band performing fresh versions of the classic 60s pop songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. He's beloved by bikers and old ladies alike, and there's a small cult devoted to him on the Belgium-France border. Mark's 4th album, "Tales", will be released April 10, 2023.
