The Delines + Mark Eitzel

The Delines at Band on the Wall

Portland country/soul band The Delines were formed after Richmond Fontaine singer/songwriter Willy Vlautin heard singer Amy Boone (The Damnations) sing just one single ballad. He was so moved by her voice that he secretly wrote her songs for over a year before approaching her to start a band. Lucky for all she liked what she heard and The Delines were formed. Fontaine’s Sean Oldham on drums, Freddie Trujillo on bass, Vlautin on guitar, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Gray on keyboards and horns. The Delines released their sixth album, The Set Up, earlier this year – hailed as their best – and will be releasing another new album in 2027.

Mark Eitzel has released over 17 albums of original material with American Music Club and as a solo artist. The Guardian has called him ‘America’s greatest living lyricist,’and Rolling Stone once gave him their Songwriter of the Year award. Originally formed in 1983, AMC released seven albums before breaking up in 1995. The band reunited in 2004 for two full-lengths, Love Songs for Patriots and The Golden Age. In April of 2012 while working on his last solo record, Eitzel suffered a heart attack which forced him to slow down and delayed the album’s release. In addition to older classics from American Music Club, which will be featured on a new box set due out in 2027, Mark will play songs from previous solo albums and a new vinyl EP. He will perform an hour-plus set with his band.
