 Fresh off the bus in Memphis Tennessee, Mark Lemhouse arrived in the Home of the Blues armed with a guitar style that echoed Beale Street’s acoustic blues
legends, but in service to a distinctly contemporary songwriting voice filtering the emotion of Hank Williams Sr. through the attitude of Tom Waits. He quickly set himself apart from the traditionalist pack, earning
recognition as a top-shelf songwriter and guitar player. His debut album, Big Lonesome Radio, earned two
2004 W.C. Handy Award Nominations for “Acoustic Album of the Year” and “Best New Artist Debut”. Mark’s highly anticipated new Yellow Dog release, The
Great American Yard Sale, finds the genre-defying guitarist plugging in and heading out to edgy Americana territory, armed with banjo and electric lap steel as well as
his deftly fingerpicked National guitar.
