The concept for the cover song and CD project, No Roads to Juneau, emerged serendipitously, as most inspirations do. Mark’s uncle shared a story about getting lost on his way to Alaska’s capitol, and while stopping for directions was told, “There’s No Road to Juneau!”  The musicality of the phrase sparked a metaphor for the frustration for a relationship’s communication break-down and eventual deterioration.

Mark composed the music and lyrics of No Roads to Juneau and performed all vocals and guitar accompaniments. Jack Falzarano was the producer and provided additional slide, rhythm, and bass guitar tracks. The project integrates a range of styles, including hard rock, ballads, folk, classical, Latin, jazz, and even hip hop textures.  The moods range from light and lyrical to strong and energetic, with wide appeal to diverse tastes.
