In 1997, fresh off the bus in Memphis, Tennessee armed with a repertoire of songs in the style of pre-World War II blues legends, Mark Lemhouse quickly set himself apart from the traditionalists and became noticed as a top-shelf songwriter and guitar player. In the time since, he's toured and performed with Jimmie Vaughan, Junior Brown, Alejandro Escovedo, The Asylum Street Spankers, and Roy Book-Binder. Lemhouse has performed as a main stage act at festivals across the country such as the famed Heritage Festival, the Portland Waterfront Blues Festival, the Howlin' Wolf Memorial Festival, and all points in between, culminating in a performance at the 2004 Handy Awards Show.... All this done solo with just great songs and outstanding guitar work.
His debut album Big Lonesome Radio (Yellow Dog Records - Memphis, Tennessee) was acclaimed by MOJO magazine as one of the Top 10 albums of the year in its genre, charted as #4 overall in the Roots Music Radio Report and was heralded by Sing Out! magazine as the work of a "stellar songwriter and guitarist."
Lemhouse's eclectic formula of songwriting and guitar work places you in the middle of a world that's as confounding as it is redeeming. With material that reflects the eye of a seasoned traveler, his songs run the gamut of love, crazy people, and life lessons learned the hard way. In a recent interview Lemhouse offered, "Well, I just write about things the way they happened... But I lie too. If they don't happen that exact way, I'll start makin' stuff up in a heartbeat... it's a song not a police report, at least not yet anyway.".
