The end of Cool Hand Luke?

It appears that this year will be the last time you’ll ever see Cool Hand Luke at Cornerstone Festival…Read on for details.

Hello friends,
I hope you are all having a great summer so far. Next week, I’ll be playing several dates in Florida. It’s been a while since Cool Hand Luke has been to some of these cities, so I look forward to seeing a lot of you again.

My wife and I are looking for a place to stay in Jacksonville June 21 and 22. If any of you can help, please email bookcoolhandluke@gmail.com.

The following week I’ll be heading up to Cornerstone. This will be my eleventh Cornerstone with Cool Hand Luke. I want you all to know that this will be the last time Cool Hand Luke plays at Cornerstone. It’s the only festival date that Cool Hand Luke is playing this year. I will be speaking at the Jesus Village Stage Friday, July 3rd. I think it is at 1pm. Then that night at 11pm on the Jesus Village Stage will be Cool Hand Luke’s final Cornerstone performance.

I hope a lot of you can make it to the festival. I’d love to talk to you and trade stories. I know times are hard and money is tight. For those of you who can’t make it to the festival, I’m hoping to still make it out to some of your cities before the year is up. This will most likely be CHL’s last year. If you’d like to book a show, please contact bookcoolhandluke@gmail.com.

In the meantime, I continue to write and record when time allows. It’s still too soon to project when anything will be finished, but I’ll try put a song or two up for you to hear as I finish them.

Love from our Father,
mark

    I’m so depressed…

    Can’t say I didn’t know it was coming, though…

  • sam30 says:

    Seriously love this band.
    The music and heart that Mark has carried with him is amazing.

    I wish him nothing but the very best for the future (I know nobody can do a band forever…regardless whether I wish he would or not…)

  • Joel_e says:

    I was blessed to seem them in concert twice :). They will be dearly missed

  • Guest says:

    I was at the Murray Hill show.
    Even though it’s just Mark alone with a piano, I encourage everyone to make an effort if there is a show in your area. It’s a different experience, but the songs still hold strong, even ones such as “The City Prevails” and “So Shall It Be”.

    Mark confirmed that he has completed the writing and begun recording for one last album,
    which will be titled “Of Man”.

    Also, a couple reworked and re-recorded versions of older songs are likely to happen apart from the album, “Nobody Hugs a Rose” being one of them.
