Mark Lennon

Roots singer/songwriter Mark Lennon blindsides Los Angeles with his third album Down the Mountain. Sun drenched city streets set the stage for songs of lost love, reflection, family, and longing for the South.

“I grew up on hippie music and bluegrass, so I like when music has great lyrics but also jams out,” says Lennon, who still considers North Carolina his home. “I am proud of our musical upbringing. We lived in a little speck-on-a-map town, but always had some amazing bands passing through.”

A Los Angeles transplant, Lennon has lived in Southern California for the past seven years creating his hybrid sound. He combines personal lyrics and anthemic themes with his love for folk, bluegrass, classic country, and rock and roll.

Having formed over the past few years, the Mark Lennon Band brings together a diverse collection of musicians from a variety of backgrounds, creating a sound called Down the Mountain.

“a perfect mixture of heartfelt lyrics, easing yet engaging melodies and, similar to each Mark Lennon song, it tells a story and takes the listener on their own musical journey of keeping roots while chasing dreams.”
