Ahead of the tour, on Friday 11th October,Mark Geary + The Strawhall House Band released a new version of Mark’s song ‘Rosebud’, from his 2017 album, ‘The Fool’. The single also has a b-side, ‘Mockingbird’, written by Fiacre Gaffney and performed by The Strawhall House Band.
Mark Geary has just returned from sold-out tours in Italy and Switzerland.
The Strawhall House Band features Fiacre Gaffney, Jack Maher, Vinny Kilcullen and Mark Penny. The band’s repertoire includes covers by great songwriters such as Lowell George, Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Guy Clarke.
It’s this infusion of Americana on the new version of ‘Rosebud’ that adds a distinctive layer which compliments Mark’s already unique style.
