BC Singer-Songwriter Mark Perry Shares New Single “BIG ELEVATOR (NANTON)”
BC singer-songwriter Mark Perry shares his new single ‘Big Elevator (Nanton)’ out now on all digital streaming platforms.
The 2nd single from his new album Glimpses, ‘Big Elevator (Nanton)’ is Canadiana at its finest. A song that evokes feelings of nostalgia while road-tripping through the prairies.
“I was driving northward after a gig in Nanton, Alberta,” says Mark. “It’s a community that proudly displays its historical grain elevators. I sat in the back of the van. The snow was falling. I wrote this song, as is, in about 30 minutes. A retro glimpse of a grain elevator town.”
Hailing from Smithers, in Northwest British Columbia, Mark Perry is deeply loved in Canada for his good-humoured and thought-provoking performances that get festival audiences up on their feet and make theatre crowds feel like they’re in his living room. 14 full-length albums and counting, Mark calls what he does “Northwest people music,” writing songs inspired by the people and diverse landscapes, from ocean currents to mountain tops.
