"Erelli navigates tricky terrain with graceful contemplation and resilience."About this EventMark Erelli returns for his third time at North Shore Point on Sept. 20 under the big tent in the backyard.Music at 7 p.m.Erelli is a Boston-based veteran of the folk and roots music scene, renowned for his emotional honesty, craftsmanship, and warmth. Erelli exploded out of the gate in 1999 when he won the prestigious Kerrville New Folk Award in the wake of his “auspicious debut” (Billboard), joining the ranks of previous honorees like Lyle Lovett and Nanci Griffith.Following 2023’s Lay Your Darkness Down, which chronicled his response to vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, Spring Green, his latest, finds Erelli in a place of hard-won peace. Co-produced with longtime collaborator Zachariah Hickman and tracked largely live over three days, the album feels fluid and organic—more watercolor painting than photographic snapshot. Its intimate sound recalls classic singer-songwriters like Jackson Browne and James Taylor, prioritizing storytelling and emotional clarity over stylistic showmanship.Listen:The Only WayYou're Gonna Want to Remember ThisBlindsidedBy Degrees (with Rosanne Cash, Josh Ritter, Anais Mitchell)Lay Your Darkness Down (with Lori McKenna)https://youtu.be/8ufmTXdMqXg?si=8bBKT9eAhS7kNiA9 - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/norfolk/mark-erelli-in-the-backyard/100001991916195963 - **Event Categories**: music, art, fine-arts, entertainment, storytelling - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - door_time: 2026-09-20T22:00:00Z - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: North Shore Point House Concerts - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 30.2, max: 37.24, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Norfolk - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: North Shore Point House Concerts - **lat**: 36.9142671 - **long**: -76.30530579999999 - **full address**: North Shore Point House Concerts, North Shore Point House Concerts, Norfolk, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mark Erelli in the Backyard - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/d794bcf179b130cb2e815ded805eee1444ce84ad8e7c386c34cb0fc9a4c399f1-rimg-w1200-h1200-dca8bf47-gmir.jpg?v=1781557820 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Mark Erelli in the Backyard being held? - **A:** Mark Erelli in the Backyard takes place on Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm to Sun, 20 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm at North Shore Point House Concerts, North Shore Point House Concerts, Norfolk, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Mark Erelli in the Backyard? - **A:** Mark Erelli in the Backyard is organized by North Shore Point House Concerts. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
