    .. About Mark.. Mark Conway is a singer songwriter who has become a formidable live draw across the country. Performing two fantastic shows on the Dublin City Soul Festival main stages (the second performance of which was broadcast on live radio), a debut US/ Worldwide release and an Irish debut EP release were all part of a very successful 2009 for Mark and his band. Touring the country extensively, Mark has rubbed shoulders with Irelands songwriting elite, supporting and even sharing bills with the likes of Mick Flannery, Luka Bloom, Don Baker, Freddie White and Juliet Turner. Recently he showed his strengths as a headliner himself, playing a very successful main stage show in Whelans.

Music review from 'Musicreview Unsigned'



Mark Conway’s debut EP ‘Steal The First Light’ has just been released. Quite a nice little package it is too!

What starts like it could be just another guy singing with a guitar turns into something quite sparkling, once the chorus starts on ‘Nothing Left To Do’, the fantastic layered harmonies take over.

Conway’s vocal style is quite similar to John Mayer, not a bad thing, the upbeat ‘What I’ve been living for’ shows it off nicely.

Title track ‘Steal the First Light’, sees Conway back with his guitar. Vocals and Guitar let each other breathe in this track, allowing truthful lyrics to come to the fore.

The uptempo ‘Gypsy Girl’ closes the EP. You can’t really ask for more from a debut. It’s well recorded and produced and the balance of where each track is, is just perfect.

Sounds Like:

Acoustic riffing, picking, slapping. Treating the acoustic guitar like more than just an 'invisible in the mix stage prop'!!

Or, in less literal terms... A wrestling match between blues, folk, jazz and pop, in which blues, folk and jazz gang up on pop!!!! ...and sometimes pop wins...

Or whatever you yourself think it sounds like!!
