WITH a voice that wouldn’t sound out of place among the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 60s, Mark McGowan has gained a notable reputation around Glasgow for his often heartfelt and engaging soulful compositions.
Ahead of his highly anticipated show at the British Panopticon Hall this coming Friday (31st March), the singer-songwriter has unveiled ‘Hot Coals’, one of his most impressive tracks to date. Boasting a more refined production than any of his previous material, the singer-songwriter has once again delivered a wonderful fusion of folk and soul over some joyful acoustic melodies; this time though, his acoustic strums are embellished by twinkling keys, peppy hand-claps and a flourish of strings.
The focus remains entirely on his distinctive vocal however; with an ability to transport you back in time while staying firmly rooted in Glasgow, it breathes earthy soul and raw authenticity into his work.
You can buy tickets for Friday’s show here. Check the new track out below.
