Mark Williams has been drawing attention with his impassioned voice for years now. His thoughtful songwriting and deep artistry, coupled with relentless touring, have gathered a loyal nationwide fanbase. Mark has played from New Hampshire to Arizona almost literally sharing a piece of himself with folks nearly everywhere in between. The grassroots support he has enjoyed is part of a larger picture of people connecting with the vulnerable, honest, heartfelt songwriting Mark has championed. His writing is quietly intelligent, and yet remarkably accessible-intensely personal, yet incredibly universal.Mark began his professional musical journey in 1995 with the release of his first CD, "a beggar at the door," which proved itself in the local music scene around Chapel Hill, NC-a haven for cutting edge rock/pop. And there was no "sophomore slump" with the release of the follow-up "journals of a recovering skeptic" in 1997. In fact, its strength launched Mark onto the national stage. The critical praise "journals" garnered earned Mark a spot in 7ball magazine as one of the Top 25 independent artists in the nation-and he was the only solo artist chosen for the honor. CCM Magazine and Prism Magazine also praised Mark's artistic vision with "journals."Now, with "becoming the moon," Mark has produced his best work to date by far. This release ventures into some new musical territory, exploring complex themes of personal growth in the context of a more atmospheric sound. It is a record about change, about living as a fallen creature in a fallen world. The songs are earthy and real. And at the very heart of it all-the centerpiece-is gracious mercy offered to the listener."becoming the moon" is more than music to listen to.It is music to live to.

Songwriter Bobby Sharp, known and yet unknown, is on the rise again, after more than a quarter century of silence. He penned the Ray Charles hit, “Unchain My Heart,” in 1960, which was a hit again in 1987 for Joe Cocker. With the success of the Ray Charles biopic, Ray, and the help of a jazz vocalist named Natasha Miller, a rising star herself, Sharp’s songbook is out of his piano bench and heading for America’s jazz clubs and living rooms.Sharp recorded 11 of his originals with a band (he both sings, and plays the piano on the CD) for Bobby Sharp - The Fantasy Sessions (his debut album, at age 80!). It was recorded at (surprise!) Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, and produced by Natasha Miller.About Bobby SharpSharp was born in Topeka, Kansas in 1924. His family had settled there because Kansas was, during slavery times, a free state. Sharp’s great-grandmother was a slave and he remembers her telling him stories about lying on the floor while cannonballs blasted through the cabin. The Great Depression soon followed, and Sharp’s parents sent him to live with relatives in Los Angeles while they went to New York to seek their fortune. Sharp’s father was a concert tenor who won several small roles in Broadway shows but never hit it big. However, their social life was rich; they lived in an apartment building in Harlem with fellow residents Duke Ellington, Walter White, Roy Wilkins and artist Aaron Douglas. It was the peak of the Harlem Renaissance, and poet Langston Hughes was a family friend; Orson Welles had recently staged his famous Black Macbeth at the nearby Lafayette Theater.Young Bobby stayed in Los Angeles with his pious grandparents and great-grandmother until he was 12, when he begged his parents to let him come to New York. Some family friends drove him cross-country in 1936, and he arrived in the midst of a cocktail soiree in his parents’ apartment on Sugar Hill.Sharp attended high school in the Bronx and took his first job as an office “go-fer” for the Rockefeller Foundation. When World War II began Sharp joined the Army, was sent first to Ft. Dixon, New Jersey, then joined the 372nd Infantry regiment stationed in New York City, guarding the city and ports. Eventually he was transferred to Breckenridge, Kentucky, where he served until being discharged in 1944. While in the Army, Sharp had begun to sing a bit, “just for kicks,” he says. With the help of the GI Bill he chose to go to music school.His mother was not happy with his decision. “She wanted me to be a psychiatrist,” Sharp says. “She didn’t want me to get into the music business. She saw what it did to my father.” But Sharp took the advice of a family friend, ...

Stirling Newberry is a liberal classicist.It’s fashionable to say about the music of a new composer that the music is “unclassifiable”, and that “you have never heard anything like before”. I can’t think of any music that’s had that label applied to it that hasn’t been a crushing disappointment, largely because of the expectations created by that label. Newberry’s music embraces labeling. You could even say it is about labels. By inviting labeling the music makes its listeners acutely aware of the lines, the boundaries ...
