MARK EITZEL & BAND - DON'T BE A STRANGER UK ALBUM TOUR - THU 17 OCT 2013
American Music Club legend Mark Eitzel returns with new Don't Be A Stranger album and tour. He plays Glee Club Nottingham, Thursday 17th October 2013.
Mark Eitzel's new album Don't Be a Stranger (Décor Records) has already been heralded as his best solo record of the last 15 years.
After a string of bad luck that included a heart attack in May 2011 that set him back several months and the implosion of his band American Music Club, Mark Eitzel fortuitously found himself in the studio with celebrated producer Sheldon Gomberg (Rickie Lee Jones, Ron Sexsmith, Ben Harper), thanks to the generosity of an old friend who had just had a massive lottery win and funded the album project. The result is Eitzel's finest solo album in over a decade.
Mark says: "I wanted to make an album more reminiscent of records like Harvest by Neil Young or Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake than anything I've previously done."
Mark Eitzel has released over 15 albums of original material with his band American Music Club and as a solo artist. The Guardian has called him "America's Greatest Living Lyricist" and Rolling Stone once gave him their Songwriter of the Year Award.
Originally formed in 1983, American Music Club released seven albums before breaking up in 1995 and finally reuniting in 2004 for two more albums.
His live set consists of a mixture of songs from his rich catalogue, including selections from American Music Club as well as newer material. Mark has promised to bring out some rare tracks he has not performed live for over 20 years.
Mark's touring band will consist of piano, bass, guitar and drums, but he also plans to "bring the chaos" in the form of his electric guitar. Renowned for his self-deprecating sense of humor, Mark's live shows are always unique and unpredictable in the best possible way.
