About Mark Henes:
Singer/songwriter Mark Henes is a living, breathing embodiment of the spirit of American music. Well-versed in everything from the classic honky-tonk of Hank Williams to the electric boogie of Chuck Berry, Henes re-imagines Americana for the 21st century, with high energy songs that range from thoughtful introspection to all out rock.
Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Henes’ career as a musician seemed almost predetermined. Growing up in the recording capitol of America, he was constantly surrounded by music. The high lonesome sound of vintage country, the sensitivity of the seventies singer/songwriters, the ferocity of the electric blues, he absorbed them all before he was even a young man. By the time he began performing around town, it was like he’d been doing it all his life. When he finally started writing songs of his own, he blended all of his influences into one sound that only he could make.
Now Mark is ready for a national audience with the release of his official full length debut. Entitled ‘Crystallized Reflections,’ the album embodies everything he is about as an artist. With an eye for poetic detail that matches his muscular instrumental arrangements, he explores the modern world fearlessly, with each track offering a unique perspective all its own.
While many musicians are content to be boxed into one genre, Mark is the rare artist who can draw connections between seemingly disparate styles to create something one of a kind. He is truly unique in the world of singer/songwriters and his music is well worth your time.
