Biography
BIO
Hailing from St. John's, Newfoundland, Mark Bragg is a musician and narrative songwriter with a taste for the grit. His own flagship albums (The Reckless Kind and Bear Music) are critically acclaimed internationally, and with them, Bragg has toured extensively through Canada, Germany, and Ireland.
It is no wonder Bragg has been received so well across the pond; Crafting storylines and backdrops that are somehow close to home for us all, Bragg showcases the deepest and darkest of human tendencies, revealing in each of us what we are capable of, what we fail to do and what we fail to avoid. Stand alone, his lyrics could be. Bragg is as strong a storyteller as he is a musician. His music, though, tells the rest of the story – the parts words can’t suffice. It’s a story we all know. Bragg and his band of butchers will summons you to strut your stuff in this parade we call life.
As producer, he's manned the helm for St. John's artists Sherry Ryan (Bottom of a Heart & Wonderful Cures) Blair Harvey (Gutter Be Gutted), and is currently working on the debut full length album for The Gramercy Riffs.
Most recently, and most fittingly, Bragg scored and composed original songs for the acclaimed Newfoundland feature film Down to the Dirt. These days, he's close to home with his partner, Kerrie, and little girl, Jesse, performing regularly in St. John's with his band of butchers, and enjoying the best summer St. John's has seen in years.
