Escapegoat

Songs you know, played faster and with more energy than you've ever heard them before. Imagine if Wanda Jackson and Rivers Cuomo had a child, bathed it in sound, then placed it in a basket and sent it on a mythical journey down the Cannon River. That is, in essence, the kind of experience we'll enjoy when this talented band rocks our socks off.

Mark Joseph

Mark Joseph

Mark Joseph is as authentically American as you would want, and as heartfelt and passionate as you can get. As a singer, Joseph digs low for the lows, and soars with the highs, all with his genuine Northfield MN gravel. It’s a voice that wraps its everlasting arms around you and won’t let go, because he is as loyal to his fans as he is to his own family.  If you are in his circles, Mark Joseph has got you. He also shreds on guitar, a brilliant round tone with vibrato and touch. American Soul is a fitting brand for Mark Joseph; since his 2017 album by that title, he has charted a relentless and soulful course through America, and Americana, from blues to country to psychedelic rock and everything in between.
