STG Presents… MARK LANEGAN
With special guests: Sean Wheeler & Zander Schloss

Mark Lanegan is of course best known for his years as the vocalist for the Screaming Trees. He has also been building a following for the last ten years with a number of remarkable solo records that highlight his love for singer/songwriters, and American folk and blues. This love for the rich history of American contemporary music was showcased with his last album I’ll Take Care of You, his fourth release on Sub Pop. Mark follows his last album with a stunning collection of songs that demonstrates his continuing growth as an artist. Take “Kimiko’s Dream House” for example, co-written with Jeffrey Lee Pierce of Gun Club fame. Showing a level of control and artistry that few ever hope to achieve, Mark weaves a new world around the listener. Singing with a mixture of sadness and compassion, it is like having a conversation with a long lost friend.
