Mark Mulcahy

Nothing eventworthy is prompting this posting, just the sudden realization of how much I appreciate Mark Mulcahy. He's a pretty fascinating guy--former frontman of Miracle Legion ("You're My Blessing" is one of my favorite rock songs ever, although not available online; "The Ladies from Town" is online, and captures the band pretty well), solo artist ("We're Not In Charleston Anymore" is quite good), the original drummer in Dumptruck (one of the great college bands of the 80s), collaborator with artist Ben Katchor on the stage works "Rosenbach" and "The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island, or, The Friends of Dr. Rushower" (both of which played to good reviews) and musical director of the mid-90s Nickelodeon show "The Adventures of Pete and Pete."

The reviews section at his own record label, Mezzotint (oh, yeah, he's an entrepeneur, too) tells his backstory pretty well. Check it out.
