Description
Mark Erelli, the Boston-based singer/songwriter, channels adversity into rock anthems on his 2023 album "Lay Your Darkness Down." Drawing inspiration from rock legends like Tom Petty and George Harrison, Erelli's songwriting delves into themes of planetary wonders and the transformative nature of love. With a versatile career spanning two decades, Erelli has excelled as a producer for artists like Lori McKenna, a guitarist for performers such as Paula Cole and Marc Cohn, and a celebrated songwriter, earning nominations for his work, including "By Degrees" in 2018. Following his diagnosis with a degenerative retinal disease, "Lay Your Darkness Down" marks a poignant chapter in Erelli's journey, building on the acclaim of his previous album "Blindsided" from 2020.
