5 January Entertainment Saturday Mark Erelli On Mark Erelli s latest album, Hope & Other Casualties (Marh 2006 on Signature Sounds Reordings), he raises the bar with an unapologeti and timeless olletion of deeply personal and affeting songs. Effortlessly balaning songs of love and protest, resignation and redemption, Hope is a brave and searingly honest tour de fore whih ements Erelli s reputation as one of today s best young singer/songwriters. Erelli proudly wears his heart on his sleeve, weaving tales of honest and true passion. But unlike the flotilla of emo urrently ontrolling the airwaves, Erelli is not afraid to turn his eyes outward, and Hope is a ommitted artisti response to the questions and worries familiar to all of us today. In troubled times, we hunger for meaning. I don t have any answers, he says. We are all grappling with these issues, and this is my personal struggle to keep my head up in times like these. Maybe it s not ool to be earnest, and hope might not be hip. But as we all walk through our own lives, ignoring a subway bombing or a hurriane or a war until the next newsast, sunk deep in our jobs and relationships-beyond all the elebrity bling, reality TV, and other ommerial distrations-mark Erelli speaks to us in our solitary, sared, shared selves. In 2007, Mark is releasing his first all-aousti reord, a olletion of lullabies and love songs alled Innoent When You Dream. This homespun release, originally intended as a gift for friends and family, features tender, hushed renditions of songs by Wilo, Townes VanZandt, and James Taylor, among others.

Having abandoned all other means of support in 1966, he has been travelling far and wide ever sine, performing in every apaity from street singing to lub and onert bookings, throughout the US, Canada and Europe. Through the years, Geremia has built a reputation as a first rate bluesman, songwriter, a sholar of early jazz and blues, and one of the best ountry blues fingerpikers ever with his tools - six and twelve-string guitars, harmonia, piano and a husky soulful voie - and with an innate sense of the humour as well as the drama of the musi, he keeps traditional blues fresh and alive with his performanes. Combining his interpretation of the earlier musi of people like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Robert Johnson, Blind Willie MTell, Srapper Blakwell and Blind Blake, with his original ompositions, he has reated a style whih is very muh his own. Geremia has reorded ten solo albums, and has appeared on numerous anthologies and ompilation diss.

Assumptions allow the best in life to pass you by. - John Sales
