Description

Singer-songwriter-sideman-producer Mark Erelli will return to the Old Sloop at 7:30pm Saturday, January 20. The performance will be in the handicap-accessible Fellowship Hall of the First Congregational Church of Rockport, 12 School St.
Following full-bodied rock forebears Tom Petty, George Harrison, and Roy Orbison, Mark Erelli’s songwriting explores the unknown glories of this planet and love’s transformational power. Over his two decade-long career, Erelli has proven himself equally at home in a multitude of roles: producing albums for artists like GRAMMY-winner Lori McKenna; serving as a sideman guitarist for artists like Paula Cole, Marc Cohn, and Josh Ritter; writing and producing his own material, like 2018’s “By Degrees,” for which he was nominated for Song of the Year at the Americana Honors and Awards; and most recently, becoming an advocate for low-vision artists and working with venues to make their spaces more accessible.
