Mark Gillick

Mark’s songs could be described as Americana/Contemporary Folk. They are snapshots of everyday life with some twists and turns, a trip down the country back roads and a ride down memory lane when the pace of life was a bit more relaxed.

Gillick’s voice has a tone that is prime for folk music and storytelling, and the songs are nothing less than great stories ... fabulous singer/ songwriter talent ... lyrics tend to hold you better than most.

OLD HIGHWAY NEW SKY--The long-awaited full release from Mark Gillick is finally here. This Texas folk songster offers a collection of life-inspired ballads that will take you from love to travel, from remembrance to rejuvenation. Gillick’s homegrown style calls forth a comfort for the listener and prompts visions of places and scenes all too familiar. The album is an artistic archive for Gillick, chronicling his variations of the genre. The bonus track is somewhat of a departure from the theme of the album, but then most bonus tracks do that. This one is a treasure, an up-tempo anthem to “My Grandfather’s Hat.” Lyrically sound, Gillick’s writing is solid and the orchestration is suited to his gentle style. If you get the chance to catch a Mark Gillick performance, you shall certainly be enchanted with these songs. -
