By intrinsic definition, Folk Music is just what it
sounds like: music of the people. The songs of R. Mark
Fogelson capture this essence of traditional Folk by
focusing on human stories, emotions and triumphs. His
songs hearken back to an era when storytellers handed
tales down through generations, yet they remain
powerful commentary about the rapidly changing world
in which we live.
At his live shows, Mark explains to the audience how
each song came to him, and listeners are truly
captivated by his narratives. His songs range in
theme from family, such as in Sometimes it Seems, to new beginnings, as described in Plant New Dreams. Mark also brings smiles to audiences' faces with songs such as If Jesus Was Norwegian and B.S. Song.
Listeners find his music approachable,
heartwarming, humorous, and thought provoking. So sit
back and listen to the quiet stories and emotions that
linger in his songs.
