North Carolina based multi-instrumentalist, Mark Dougherty has crafted his brand of acoustic driven folk music into a style that is all of his own. Says Mark: "It is always my goal to somehow reflect the journey we are all on in life through my music. Sometimes I think we forget to see the beauty in it all, but when we do, there is real joy. I try and reflect those feelings and that sense of joy in every song I write."
Mark's new album In Dreams will be available early 2008, courtesy of The Lake Isle Records.
***What People are Saying***
"Dougherty's vocals are a mix of Ryan Adams, Ron Sexsmith and Damien Rice, but his attempts to understand people are strikingly direct and empowered. And the arrangements of songs like "Anodyne" and "Maria" create their own worlds, atmospheres of sound. Overall, his sound is more nuanced than Adams or Rice -- it swirls and flies out of the stereo."
-Jennie Thompson: Go Triad
"The resulting two albums reveal an artist with a vocal range capable of conveying emotional subtlety, a lyricist with keen phrasing abilities and a songwriter deeply immersed in philosophy and literature."
-Jordan Green: Yes! Weekly

Hey Mark - I was quite impressed with your music. I'd love to come hear you play sometime soon. I'm not scheduled to play anywhere anytime soon but I'm surely not opposed. I just haven't been real active in looking for shows. I'm a student at UNCG at the moment and will be for about another year. I'm a native Rocky Mount-ian (Rocky Mount, NC that is). I've lived in Greensboro for about 2 years now. Its good to have you as a friend and local artist here on Virb. Maybe we could play a show together sometime.
