Mark Eitzel

Mark Eitzel is coming to Europe for the first time in eight years. In addition to older classics from American Music Club, which will be featured on a new box set due out in 2025, Mark will be playing songs from previous solo albums and a new vinyl EP.

Mark Eitzel has released over 17 albums with American Music Club and as a solo artist. The Guardian has called him ‘America’s greatest living lyricist,’ and Rolling Stone once gave him their Songwriter of the Year award. Originally formed in 1983, AMC released seven albums before breaking up in 1995. The band reunited in 2004 for two full-lengths, Love Songs for Patriots and The Golden Age.

Eitzel released Don’t Be A Stranger in 2012 on décor/Merge which was followed by his strongest solo album since the 90s with Hey Mr Ferryman in 2017. Mark has been spending the last seven years composing music for playwright Simon Stephens as well as working on the American Music Club reissues.

For this first full UK and EU tour in eight years, Mark will be performing solo acoustic.

This concert takes place in Hallé at St Michael’s – a former Roman Catholic church, which was founded in 1859 and became the heart of the Little Italy Community in Ancoats.

Presented by Hey! Manchester.
