SINGLE REVIEW: Mark Westin - All Are Welcome Here
Mark Westin is a wonderfully sincere, traditional folk storyteller. His latest single, 'All Are Welcome Here', is a majestic, spellbinding recount of those who pass through a bar.
There's a cat asleep and a warm, inviting fire. 'All Are Welcome Here' could be the story of a barmaid quietly observing the folks that pass through. Couples intertwined in love, young men indulging in a pint after a hard day's work, business meetings in hopes of advancing careers, tired students taking solace in a beer, and drunken nights out hoisting up drinks in celebration of life.
It's a beautiful montage of people watching, pondering their stories and the reasons that brought them there.
Blossoming, tranquil strings play out alongside gentle guitars. Mark's magnificent vocals sit atop with their warm homely tone while the stunning harmonies bring the song to life. Building for higher impacting moments, 'All Are Welcome Here' is a beautiful calming folk ballad. A simple story about observations that hits with glowing intrigue.
‘All Are Welcome Here’ is lifted from Mark’s latest album “Tales” which is out now.
