Because Mark Thomas Stockert’s last album is called Chatelaine Saloon; because it’s bound in suede and decorated with Old West iconography; because Stockert dresses in loose-fitting flannel, dusty jeans, and big, fat boots; because every cigarettes-and-whiskey song he sings feels as windswept and abandoned as the Iron Range itself; because of all of these things, we knew he had to be signed to Eclectone.
Equal parts performer and studio owner / producer (Brian Setzer, Big Ditch Road, Tom Feldman, Martin Devaney, Hojas Rojas) Mark is family, and we like it that way.
Look for his newest, the-five-years-in-the-making “Church’s Ferry”, to be released Fall of 2009. Recorded sporadically between other recording projects, the new album features performances from Bob McCreedy (The Volebeats), Martin Devaney, Jimmy Peterson (the 757s, Bellwether), Matthew Freed (Cloud Cult), Mike “Raz” Russell (Jayhawks, House of Mercy), and more.
