“At The Border” is a moving and timely track from musician Mark Newman. The rousing and stirring piece of acoustic driven classic rock music draws from struggle but instils in the listener a sense of hope and purpose amidst the lowest of times. Inspired and stoked by the struggles of people fleeing war in Ukraine, as well as the legions of those stuck in situations beyond their control, Mark Newman pens down this song as a message and clarion call to persevere, to carry on, and to seek greener pastures when things aren’t at the best. His vocals, a gritty yet touching feel to them, provide a sense of empathetic resonance. The chorus line is incredibly evocative, a harmonic choir that picks you up and pushes you through.
Mark Newman is a seasoned and respected professional musician with a wealth of experience performing alongside some of the biggest names in soul, blues, and rock, including John Oates, Jim McCarty, Willy DeVille, Sam The Sham, Bobby Whitlock, and Sam Moore.
