Sparkle EP by Mark Geary

Irish singer-songwriter Mark Geary has released five studio and three live albums.

Interchanging between his beloved vintage Martin, Gibson, Spanish and electric guitars, Geary’s sound is stripped back. His lyrics slice right through to the core revealing a life laid bare of human emotional frailty,

Time Out NY said, “His delicate songs about love and defiance recall Richard Thompson and John Lennon.”

We have handpicked these three tracks to demonstrate the diversity of Mark's music. The tracks were recorded live during gigs in Vienna (2011) and Graz (2012 and 2015).

Mark says "If you haven't had a chance to get to one of my gigs yet, it's a glimpse of what they're like. I like to tell stories/memories in between songs and I'll invite the audience to sing along with me because it's that connection with people that makes the night truly special".

The beautiful Fireflies, the devastating sadness of Happy (with a story/memory introduction), and a passionate stripped back version of Gingerman.

Bandcamp offers music in different quality download options. The lyrics are up and there are a couple of photographs you can download if you wish.

The beautiful Sparkle cover, designed by the talented artist Tara from Lemongraphs is also downloadable.
