Renowned songwriter’s touching songs with lyrics like diary lines

Mark Kozelek is the genius responsible for Sun Kil Moon and Red House Painters. Is his very own tragicomic manner, he tells about life in his autobiographical, touching songs. The lyrics seem as if read from his diary and as a result go straight to the heart. With his band Sun Kil Moon, this led to the widely acclaimed album ‘Benji’, but for almost two decades now Kozolek has also been making greatly admired records under his own name. His latest album was released this May, aptly named ‘Mark Kozelek’. His narrative and deeply personal style make the American the perfect performer for the warm surrounds of the beautiful Westerkerk.
