Since 2017, Mark Rogers has released a remarkable catalog of melodic Indie Pop/Folk Rock music. In 2024, he will present his third and unmistakably, best album yet: “30 Minutes from Water Street”. Mark Rogers demonstrates unique songwriting abilities with lyrical storylines that invite and compel the listener. Although you’ll recognize his utilization of some of the best elements of California and British classic rock, Mark is far from a retro act. His infectious chord changes and harmonies, while they may both surprise and ring familiar, serve as guideposts into some fairly diverse musical terrain.
Mark’s first two LP’s: 2019’s “Laying It Down” and 2021’s “Rhythm of the Roads” both debuted in the top-20 on the EuroAmericana chart and skimmed the top 100 on the US AMA. His music has received wonderful reviews in “No Depression”; “Americana Highways”; “TheIndieSource”; “Lonesome Highways” and many more. His recordings have achieved worldwide radio airplay and have been added to scores of streaming playlists.
“Think Simon & Garfunkel lost at sea, and you get a sense of the mythic world at play here.”
– THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
Introducing the Sons of Town Hall, the theatrical-folk duo of Ben Parker — celebrated British singer / songwriter / producer and David Berkeley — beloved American singer / songwriter / author. Whilst crossing the Atlantic on a raft of their own making, Sons of Town Hall crafted songs of wonder and woe, heartbreak, and hope. Their harmonies are sublime. Their stories are hilarious. Dressed in threadbare Victorian outfits and armed with old, weather-beaten Gibson guitars, their show is part concert, part performance art, and unlike anything you have ever seen.
In 2024, Sons of Town Hall will release their sophomore album and an accompanying podcast series. Hosted by British actor Oliver Maltman, the podcast, entitled “The Adventures of the Sons of Town Hall,” is produced in the style of old radio theater — complete with beautifully scored music and lush soundscapes. Each of the fifteen globe-spanning episodes tells one of the duo’s many adventures drawn from their mythic lives together and features a brand-new song from the forthcoming album.

You have arrived somewhere special even though you are still on your way. Whether it’s the tire of your car or bike, your sneaker, or a horse’s steel-clad shoe that crosses […]

A Richmond Architect For The Ages
It’s an unassuming sketch that begins with a single square, a squiggle of a hand-drawing. Page after page, the square has been added onto, enlarged and articulated into bolder iterations, until a fully formed vision for a new structure emerges. “There’s a sequence over a week,” McCullar says. “The big ideas come very fast.” It’s taken […]
