Irish-born, U.S.-based singer/songwriter Mark Dignam crafts accessible, politically charged, witty and reflective observations of life, love, and death in the spirit of Van Morrison, Billy Bragg, John Wesley Harding, and Josh Ritter. Originally a Dublin busker (alongside Frames/Swell Season frontman Glenn Hansard), Dignam released numerous albums before earning international acclaim for 2005’s stark Box Heart Man. Monumental Way followed in 2010. ~ James Christopher Monger
