Blackberry
Wood
is a wonderful, secret and magic combination of Alt-Country-Gypsy-Circus music. A high-energy cabaret spin on both old and
modern music, adding juicy flavours like jumpin' ska, skiffle, folk, punk ‘n
many other irresistible body shakin’, foot stompin’ delights to their original
and timeless ol’ style adventures.
Blackberry Wood comes down the road like a travelling caravan, with all
kinds of wondrous instruments, vocal melodies and fantastically costumed characters. Blackberry Wood has kicked up dust in towns
all over Western Canada, the UK and the United States.
What
other folks say!!!
"Were
they country, were they rock, were they polka, or were they punk? Were they
burlesque? Or were they just plain fun? Yes!"
Linda Solomon, The Vancouver Observer
"Fit
to compete with the cast of Moulin Rouge with their zany costumes, Blackberry
Wood seems ready to strike up a burlesque hoedown just about anywhere you plunk
them down"
Jeanie Keogh, BC Musician Magazine
"A
traveling band of gypsy-party musicians who bring the spirit of hokum to life
with original tunes as well as with some brilliantly chosen, stunningly
unexpected covers. Each show is unique.
I adore them."
Eric Epstein, Artistic Director, Frostbite
Music Festival

Singer/songwriter Mark Handley is happy to embrace all styles of music, though Acoustic Roots, Rock and Reggae are certainly amongst his favourites! He has a natural “feel” for a rhythm and the uncanny ability to find and write a song in any situation or on any subject. These are “real” songs with great lyrics and hooks that will have you singing along by the second chorus.... as well as getting your toes a’ tappin’ (of course!) He knows how to entertain an audience and his energy and passion are sure to leave an impression on all those who have seen and heard him play. His following maybe small but the word is spreading and those who do check out his music usually come back for more.
