Mark Lanky commemorates the release of his debut self-titled studio album with a show this Sunday, July 30 at Ortlieb’s, supported by Sad Actor and White Lighters. On the LP (which was recorded and mixed by Jeff Zeigler at Uniform Redording), you’ll find Lanky channeling Johnny Cash in his upbeat rendition of Canadian singer-songwriter Freddie Eaglesmith’s “Trucker Speed”. In steadfast pursuit of the one that got away, the drug-induced, downtrodden, traveling tune reaches into the timeless Americana tradition, highlighting a universal narrative in the process.
