“Rivers” is Mark Martyre’s fifth full-length studio album since 2012, and following on from “Down, Record” (2012), “London” (2013), “Red Letters” (2014), “Bluebird” (2016), several live recordings and bootlegs. Mark has also published a collection of his lyrics, spanning his music between 2012-2016.

Rivers features ten new reflective Mark Martyre songs, with his characteristic Tom Waits like voice, some beautifully relaxed piano work and some lovely vocals from Stacey Dowswell. Also, joining Mark Martyre (guitar, vocals & harmonica) on the album are Darrin Baldwin (piano), Matt Antaya (electric guitar), Graydon James (drums), Jason Lapidus (bass), Ed Michael Roth (accordion), and Raha Javanfar (violin).
