Milwaukee songwriter Mark J. Soriano shares a blissful new song, 'So Strange'

For this week's premiere, we've got a new one from Milwaukee songwriter Mark J. Soriano, who has played for bands including Dropbear Collective, The Oxleys, Fellow Kinsman and The Hatchets. During the pandemic, he stepped out of the drummer's seat and began recording as a solo artist, finishing his debut EP, "So Strange." You can stream and read about its folky title track below.

Artist's statement

This song and the entire EP were recorded over quarantine and was my way of dealing with everything. Like many other people, I fell hard into my vices so all of the songs helped me reflect and ultimately, turn things around. Music has always pulled me out of the dark and I hope these songs can help someone else. Until Dec. 13th, all sales from this single, made on Bandcamp will be donated to the Safe Harbor Program at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission. The program is dedicated to helping men break free from addictions and provides both long-term and short term services.
