“Mark Zelermyer delivers a collection of poignant songs on his debut release, Prior to Leaving.”
Metronome
Featuring 12 originals, Prior to Leaving is the result of Mark’s collaboration with bandmate John Vandale (bass, dobro), Jefferson Riordan (producer, guitars, percussion, vocals) and Chris Toppin (engineer and vocals). Listen to samples on the Media page.
“Mark Zelermyer has a knack for a good turn-of-phrase. His music sits comfortably in the traditional folk wheelhouse, but there are some notable surprises, hints of psychedelia, playfulness, rock influences. Life trauma, struggle, love, these are the tropes Mark explores in unique ways.”
