Mark Lesseraux of The Citizens Performs on the GingerNewYork TV Show, TWC Ch. 34, New York City

Feb. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Mark Lesseraux is a singer/songwriter/recording artist from Brooklyn, New York. His solo material and his work with The Citizens combines universal themes such as mortality, transcendence and human evolution with comedy and good natured sarcasm. Mark draws from a broad range of sources as a performer and writer. In his words: "I’m as influenced by people like Joseph Campbell and Mel Blanc as I am by musicians like David Bowie and Bob Dylan." Over the past decade plus, Lesseraux has created a formidable body of work, establishing himself as a first rate songwriter and performer. Mark’s on stage persona is entirely original, mixing elements of stand up comedy with deadly serious subject matter. http://www.marklesseraux.com


TRANSMISSIONS (2003-2012): Transmissions (2003–2012) is a double album on one CD.
