about

Hello! Mark Etherington here.

If you are reading this then you have somehow found your way to my music and my newest album, Casa Lago. I want to start by saying thank you to Tad and Lulu Denham who allowed me to take up residency in their cabin on and off for five months and dive into my work. Thank you Tad and Lulu for your generous hospitality and open doors.

Casa Lago:
So named after the cabin pictured on the cover, Casa Lago was recorded during the lockdown of 2020 between April and September. The cabin provided not only isolation during a formidable time in our awakened history but a time of true reflection for me. As I watched as my months of future shows and festivals for the year quickly got cancelled, I allowed myself one day of grief and woe before shifting my focus from performing live to recording. Here I was presented with all the time I needed to finally get to what I had been putting off for years, and, what better place to do it than a lakeside cabin on the outskirts of Tampa? The opportunity was a true gift.

For most of the recording sessions I was joined by my good friend and talented songwriter Matt M.W. Walker who became instrumental (get it?) to the engineering process as well as the production journey that comes from attempting to pull ideas out of the ether to capture them. I can't thank him enough for his help, production, musical contribution and encouragement on this project. Matt's harmonies can be heard on the tracks Open New Faiths and Used to Be as well as playing percussion.

As a special addition to the record I have added a bonus track of digital liner notes. Recorded in the cabin in May of 2021 by my good friend and podcaster Zach Howe of the Creators Cove Podcast (Podfix Network), Liner Notes is a special-edition deep dive into Casa Lago that features myself, Tad Denham and Matt Walker talking about the history of the cabin, songwriting and the overall details behind every song. Check it out if you want the full immersive experience.

Special thanks to Mirza Begovic (Gullwing, Tonefield Pedals) who beautifully mastered all of the tracks on Casa Lago while I was traveling across the country.

Thank you for listening to Casa Lago and for your support. This is a very special project for me and I am thrilled to finally see it released out into the wild.

Cheers and Thanks,
Mark Etherington aka Mountain Holler
