Singer/songwriter Mark Henes is a living, breathing embodiment of the spirit of American music.  Well versed in everything from the classic honky-tonk of Hank Williams to the electric soul of Jimi Hendrix, he reimagines Americana for the 21st century, with high energy songs that range from thoughtful introspection to all out rock.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Henes’ career as a musician seemed almost predetermined.  Growing up in the recording capitol of America, he was constantly surrounded by music.  The high lonesome sound of vintage country, the sensitivity of the seventies singer/songwriters, the ferocity of the electric blues, he absorbed them all before he was even a young man.  By the time he began performing around town, it was like he’d been doing it all his life.  When he finally started writing songs of his own, he blended all of his influences into one sound that only he could make.  

In 2020 he officially arrived on the scene with his debut LP ‘Crystallized Reflections.’  A convincing and passionate collection of songs spanning several genres, it was well received locally with one critic praising its “haunting alt country and raucous rockiness.”  Now Mark is building on his early success and bracing for a national audience with the release his newest single, ‘What Could You Be Right Now.’  With an eye for poetic detail that matches his muscular instrumental arrangements, he explores the modern world fearlessly, offering a unique perspective all its own. 

While many musicians are content to be boxed into one genre, Mark is the rare artist who can draw connections between seemingly disparate styles to create something one of a kind.  He is truly unique in the world of singer/songwriters and his music is well worth your time.

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.

Having spent my career as an illustrator, I have always sidelined as a student of music. I play both guitar and piano, and my discovery of the extraordinary capabilities of DAW software opened up a natural path for me into composition. My inspiration has come from a diverse array of great performers ranging from Verdi to the Zombies, the Beatles, Henry Mancini, and Mark Knopfler, among many, many others. The wealth of musical influences I’ve encountered has fueled my creativity, allowing me to blend visual artistry with melodic expression. Growing up in such a vibrant musical era has been a tremendous gift, shaping my artistic identity and pushing me to explore the limitless possibilities of sound.

Headphone listening is a plus.

Roger Pancake is the pseudonym of the German music nerd Mark Korthals, regarding himself a musician. He is best known (to those who know) for his musical contributions to a long history of local Cologne and Magdeburg band projects from midst of the eighties until today. After his last project recording a personal version of Beck‘s Songreader with The Jehnny Dopps, he is now, under the project name The Cosmic Hum, releasing (well, rather small step by small step) his debut solo album entitled Reveal yourself: late coming of age like stuff, taking himself seriously in the one and only respect of having fun doing this.
