Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Mark Erelli, known for his distinctive blend of folk, rock, and Americana, joins forces with a world-class string quintet to reimagine his celebrated songs. The result? A cinematic and breathtakingly intimate performance that never fails to leave audiences spellbound.
Erelli’s string quintet is helmed by double bassist Zachariah Hickman (Ray Lamontagne, Josh Ritter) and Annie Bartlett on viola (ROSIN, Hank Wonder). The reinterpretations of songs from throughout his catalogue present him in an expansive, visionary light, allowing Erelli’s voice to shine like never before.
This is an album release for his live album highlighting this extraordinary collaboration, recorded during the group’s July 20, 2024 performance in New Hampshire. Recorded live in front of a packed hall, the evening was a masterclass in musicianship. Erelli’s evocative lyrics and soulful vocals are elevated by the lush, dynamic interplay of the quintet.
