Out now: 'Long Wild Road' EP by Mark MacKay

I've seen Mark MacKay perform in concert twice so far here in Southern California and I was extremely impressed each time. His current easygoing EP Long Wild Road should be in heavy rotation at terrestrial country radio right now (or even SiriusXM's Outlaw Country channel). The EP is one of the best I've heard in the country genre this year. It's definitely worth your attention.

Here's some background...

MacKay has played the Ryman Auditorium, various festivals and shared a stage with Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Chris Janson, Travis Tritt and Cole Swindell as well as opened for rock legends Ted Nugent, Richie Sambora, Orianthi and .38 Special.

All that hard road work earned him a spot on Music Connection Magazine’s list of Top 100 National Live Acts. The single "Always Rains in Portland" has 777K streams to date on Spotify, while his song "Get Me Through the Night" was featured on Spotify’s official New Boots playlist and boasts just over 100K plays. The video for "Walk You Home" has received rotation on CMT. Now there is a new music video for current single "I Can't Stop You" which features Hall of Fame songwriter Jeffrey Steele.  

As for social media, Mark regularly does Monday evening performances on his various channels.
