Mark Jewett

Mark Jewett is a Detroit area singer-songwriter. His work has been recognized by American Songwriter Magazine (2015 Lyrics Contest) and the For Song Sake Songwriting Challenge as a two-time runner-up (2013 and 2012). His listeners have noted aspects of his songs and delivery style to be reminiscent of a variety of artists, including Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Jesse Winchester, Slaid Cleaves, Nick Lowe, and Michael Franks. While his music tends to defy any strict genre definition, you are likely to hear influences from folk, rock and pop to country and blues if you listen closely.

After decades of experience in bands as a singing bassist, he released a solo EP in 2011 and followed up the full length album, "Tending The Fire", in 2016. Here are a few things reviewers have had to say about Mark's music:

The best songs do two things, deftly revealing the unvarnished truth about both the songsmith and the listener. With Love Has No Heart Of Its Own, Mark Jewett has delivered a clutch of tunes that neatly and effortlessly accomplish both ends. You can hear who Mark is in every line, from the heartfelt to the humorous. All of his influences and interests are filtered through his unique and honest slant on life, love, longing and contentment. A warm and pleasurable packet of songs delivered with wry wit. - Nolan Mendenhall, Producer, Work Ethic Productions
