This week, MARK WONNECK – A Hidden Gem
I stumbled on Mark Wonneck’s 2024 album ‘Following Some Birds’ by accident and his work has become a staple in my current playlists. This conversation was a wonderful opportunity for me to meet mark finally and I am so grateful to share it with you.
Mark Wonneck was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but now lives on Vancouver Island. On his own or in the folk duo The Douglas Brothers, he has been performing off and on in folk festivals, clubs and house concerts since the mid-1980s.
Mark has a rare gift for writing humour and heart into every song, and leaving you thinking on them long afterward.
His music is crystallin clear in its soft-spoken insightful reflections on the human situation and our place and his within its mosaic. In lyric and melody, Mark has the alchemist’s gift of speaking directly to the heart, and if you are still enough yourself, you will hear.
“a beautifully rare blend of poetry, stream of conscious thought, and comic surprise. This kind of slow pour of storytelling makes you want to listen forever. Masterful and deeply human." L. Schuerbeke, Concert Host, Parksville BC)
