Whether it’s delving into fears surrounding Alzheimer’s disease or the challenges of sobriety, Holland singer-songwriter Mark Harrell has always felt it paramount to be forthright and sincere in his lyrics.
“For me, when I first started writing music and taking it seriously, I think I needed to be honest to the world and to myself, more importantly,” he says.
“Connecting is very important in my music. If someone feels like they know what I’m talking about, then they instantly feel connected to the song.”
Of course, making those connections over the past year has been difficult amid a pandemic that’s restricted the ability of musicians to interact with audiences.
