Mark Erelli

folk-blues-country singer & songwriter

Mark Erelli made a splash when he appeared on the music scene in 1999 with his eponymous debut from Signature Sounds. Critics from Billboard to the Boston Herald were singing his praises, and the Kerrville New Folk Contest named him top dog in its competition. Erelli followed up two years later with the album Compass & Companion, drawing more critical praise, as well as a pair of nominations from the Boston Music Awards. Erelli supported the new release with numerous shows and festival appearances across the U.S., including Alaska. He has shared the stage with such artists as Gillian Welch, Dave Alvin, Buddy and Julie Miller, and John Hiatt.
