Mark Abis
Mark Abis is a British singer-songwriter and musician. His album Changing Inside, produced by Eg White was released on 13 June 2005 on the Serpent label.[1]
Record producer Joe Boyd became interested in the album and reviewed it saying: 'Going back to the mid-Sixties, I have heard more than any one man's share of singer-songwriters. So it takes a lot to get my attention. His melodies are original, his vocals warm and distinctive, a real musical sensibility is obvious, with literary lyrics to boot. My vote for one of the best of the new generation'.[2]
His song "Summerbreeze" has enjoyed several releases, and was recorded by Emiliana Torrini for her album, Love in the Time of Science.[3][4] "Summerbreeze" has also been featured on television programmes including Brothers & Sisters, Secret Diary of a Call Girl, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The song was included on the 2003 official soundtrack album Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Radio Sunnydale.[5][6]
His song "For a Woman's Love" was featured on the television programme Eli Stone.[7][8]
Abis tours in the UK and Europe and has new work awaiting release.[9]
Abis is also a member of Blues/Folk trio Three Pilgrims with Paul Wassif and David Watson.[10][11]
