Songwriter Mark Fain formed Gun Lake in 2009 as an outlet for songs he composed during a time when his life was ripped apart and shocked into a new trajectory, and it shows. Since playing their first show in February of 2010, the band has set themselves apart from the typical revival-folk or alt country genre.
As one of the most arresting acts in the flourishing music scene of Southeast Michigan, Gun Lake has shared the stage with notable acts such as Gold Motel, Lord Huron and Chris Bathgate to name a few, in addition to recording a Daytrotter session and playing 3 shows for CMJ’s 2011 Music Marathon.
Influenced by the Brit-rock he grew up on, as well as his love for classic folk music, Fain’s unique and evocative brand of folk rock is fleshed out with Ryan O’Reilly’s inventive electric guitar work as well as an often utilized lineup of his more musical friends. While Fain’s voice is always at the forefront, all other members lend their voices for awe-inspiring and flawlessly delivered harmonies.
