Mark Addison (born March 23, 1957) is an American songwriter, musician, producer and arranger, and owner/operator of the Aerie recording studio in Austin, Texas.
He has written or cowritten songs recorded by Cher, Joan Baez, Edwin McCain and Gene Simmons of Kiss, and has written songs with Hanson, Maia Sharp, Willy Porter, Tracy Bonham, Paul Thorn, Freedy Johnston, Charlie Sexton, Guy Forsyth, Brian Keane, Ian Moore, Italian artist Zucchero and others.
His production credits include multiple albums by Sharp, Forsyth, Moore, Wendy Colonna, Jess Klein, Irish artist Mundy, the Band of Heathens, Matt the Electrician, Matt McCormack and Will Sexton, and albums by Bob Schneider, Patrice Pike and David Garza. He also produced albums by Kitty Gordon, the Austin-based band he formed with drummer and singer Nina Singh following the breakup of their previous band, the Borrowers.
Addison was a member of Cleveland band the Generators, which director Paul Schrader used as the model for the Barbusters band in his film Light of Day. The film originally was titled Born in the U.S.A. after a lyric in the Generators' song, "U.S.A.", but was changed after Bruce Springsteen used the phrase for a song that became the title of his biggest-selling album.
Early life
Addison was born in London, England, and moved to America at age six when his opera-director father took a job in New York City. The family moved to Cleveland, Ohio when Addison was nine.[1]
As a child, he studied piano and music theory, then guitar. He started his first band in eighth grade.
Musical career
1980s-1990s: Cleveland and California
In Cleveland, Addison joined Buzzy Linhart & the Buzzards,[2] which morphed into the Generators. In the book, Cleveland Rock 'n' Roll Memories, former Cleveland club owner Dewey Forward said of Addison's work with the Generators, "His music was just superb, maybe the best stuff that ever came out of Cleveland."[3] (In 2017, the Cleveland Plain-Dealer website Cleveland.com included the Generators' 1980 song "TV Set" on a list titled "101 Most Important Songs in Cleveland Music History".[4] On Springsteen's advice, Schrader decided to use Cleveland as the setting for a film he was writing about a rock band trying to make it big. His research included spending a couple of weeks with the Generators.[5][6] When he heard their song, "U.S.A.", with the line, "I can't help it, I was born in the U.S.A.,"[7] he titled his screenplay Born in the U.S.A.—until Springsteen saw it on his copy of the script and lifted it for "Born in the U.S.A.," which became the title track for what turned into the biggest-selling album of his career.[8][9] His substitute, "Light of Day," became the film's title.[10] The film project had stalled out at that point; when it resumed production in 1986 (starring Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett), Addison was asked to create the Problems to perform at Cleveland rock club the Euclid Tavern.[11][12] (The Generators had broken up by then.) He recruited Exotic Birds members Trent Reznor (pre-Nine Inch Nails)[13] and Frank Vale for the fictional film band and arranged the song they perform, a cover of Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways." Addison also was an uncredited script consultant.[11]
After touring with 1960s pop icons Gary Lewis & the Playboys, Addison formed Nation of One, which released a self-titled album in 1986.[14]
Addison began recording and producing other Cleveland bands, then moved to Los Angeles in the late 1980s. In 1993, he formed the Borrowers.[1][15] The band was named California's top unsigned band at Rhino Records' 1993 Troubadours of Folk Festival.[16] After appearing at the 1994 South By Southwest music conference in Austin, Texas, they were offered a joint publishing contract with Crossfire Entertainment and Almo-Irving Rondor Music.[1][17][18] (The publishing arm of A&M Records, Rondor was run by Lance Freed, son of legendary Cleveland DJ Alan Freed; at the time, it was considered the world's largest independent publishing company).[19][20] Fellow Cleveland native Jay Joyce (a Grammy-winning[21] Nashville producer who had once auditioned for the Generators) produced their demo songs and promotional sampler.
Plain Dealer reporter Michael Norman wrote of the SXSW showcase, "The Borrowers are the real thing — a stunning four-piece acoustic folk outfit that mixes Addison's beautifully melodic songs with rock attitude and slightly quirky instrumentation."[22] (By then, Addison had already begun building a vintage instrument collection including a balalaika, bouzouki, toy piano, Coral sitar, pump organ, glockenspiel, Mellotron and Moog and ARP synthesizers.)
In 1995, the Borrowers signed with Guardian/EMI and recorded their self-titled 1996 album, for which Addison wrote or co-wrote each track (including two with Joyce), contributed vocals and played several instruments.[23]
That same year, Addison and Italian rapper Jovanotti co-wrote English lyrics for "Alleluja",[24][25] with music by Italian pop-rock singer Zucchero Sugar Fornaciari, known as Zucchero.[26][27] He recorded it for his album Spirito DiVino (Stray Cat in a Mad Dog City). Italian and English versions of the album sold several million copies and ranked No. 1 on Italy's year-end charts.[28][29]
Singer-songwriter Maia Sharp met Addison through his Borrowers bandmate Josef Zimmerman while attending California State University at Northridge. She and Addison co-wrote "Don't Come Around Tonite," which Cher recorded for her album, It's a Man's World.[30][31][32] The song appears on the European version of the album, released in 1995 (the North American version was released in 1996). In 2016, Sharp told campus publication CSUN Today that Addison originally pitched the song to Miles Copeland, who managed the Police and signed the Go-Go's to his I.R.S. Records label, as a song for Go-Go's lead singer Belinda Carlile.[33][34] Carlile didn't record it, but Cher did (and Copeland signed Sharp to his new Ark 21 label).
Addison has attended two songwriting retreats at Copeland's Château de Marouatte castle outside of Perigeux, France,[35][36] where he wrote with Bonham, Porter, Hanson, Jill Sobule, Michelle Shocked and others.
On Sharp's 1997 debut album, Hardly Glamour, Addison cowrote the track, "I Need This to Be Love," produced that track and "Brownstone," and played on seven tracks.[37] In a profile on the Night Eagle Cafe website, Sharp said of "I Need This to Be Love," the album's first single, "My cowriter, Mark Addison, suggested we write a Thelma and Louise type song."[38] She also recorded "Don't Come Around Tonight"—with the correct spelling.[39] Addison also coproduced her 2002 album, Maia Sharp, with Sharp and her father, Randy Sharp, and on 2005's Fine Upstanding Citizen, he cowrote and produced the track, "Kinder Blues."[40][41][42]
1990s – 2020s: Austin, Texas
In 1996, Addison moved to Austin and built the Slaughterhouse Studio (named for its location off Slaughter Lane), with a vintage Quad Eight Pacifica mixing console. (The company's boards were renowned for their use in crafting the Motown and Stax-Volt sounds.[43] Addison and other Quad Eight disciples eventually helped revive the company, which now makes limited-edition and custom components.)[44] Notable albums recorded there include blues-rock guitarist and singer Moore's Ian Moore's Got the Green Grass and Schneider's The Galaxy Kings (though Slaughterhouse Studio appears on the album credits).[45][46]
With Borrowers' drummer Nina Singh, Addison formed the band Kitty Gordon.[47] Austin Chronicle writer Margaret Moser characterized their sound as "charm-injected power pop".[48] Chronicle writer Andy Langer called their Addison-produced debut EP, Seven, "a virtually flawless 24 minutes of pop".[1]
In 1997, folk legend Joan Baez recorded Addison's song, "Mercy Bound," on her Gone from Danger album;[49][50] he performed it with her at the Newport Folk Festival.[51] Edwin McCain recorded "Mercy Bound" for his 2011 album of the same name.[52] The song originally was recorded by the Borrowers, and appears on the Fast Folk Musical Magazine compilation, Los Angeles 1993. (Fast Folk is now owned by Smithsonian Folkways Recordings.)[53] It also appears on the Borrowers' self-titled 1996 release, along with "Nervous Heart," which Addison cowrote with Zimmerman.[54] That song is included on the soundtrack to the film Bed of Roses, starring Mary Stuart Masterson, Christian Slater and Josh Brolin.[55]
In 2000, Addison opened the Aerie Studio,[56][51] where he has served as producer, engineer, mixer, performer and/or writer on albums, EPs, singles and tracks recorded by Schneider, Forsyth,[57] Will Sexton, Sara Hickman, Hayes Carll, Patrice Pike, David Garza, Jon Dee Graham, Jess Klein (whom he also managed)[58] and many others (see partial discography below).
In 2004, Addison produced, engineered and performed on Irish artist Mundy's Raining Down Arrows.[59] The album debuted at No. 1 on the Irish album chart and reached platinum status in Mundy's home country.[60] While recording at Aerie, Gene Simmons of Kiss[61] heard the Kitty Gordon song "Somebody Beautiful" and used it on his solo album, Asshole (recording his own vocals over the instrumental tracks).[51]
In 2005, Addison produced Forsyth's Love Songs: For and Against, and co-wrote the song "Long Long Time". Allmusic gave the album 4.5 stars, Austin radio station KGSR played the song in heavy rotation for six months and both song and album earned Austin Music Award nominations.[62][63]
Other notable credits include cowriting the Hanson song, "Breaktown," which appears in their 2006 documentary, Strong Enough to Break, and on their 2018 album, String Theory; producing Wendy Colonna's "A Happy Song" for Coca-Cola's animated "Building" commercial, which topped Ad Week's rankings when it debuted in 2014;[64][65] and producing ONETWOTHREESCREAM singer-songwriter Jana Pochop's "You Lit Me," which won Best Pop Song in the 2019 Hollywood Songwriting Contest.[66] He also has produced all three volumes of the Holiday HAAM Jam compilation albums benefiting the Health Alliance for Austin Musicians.[67]
Addison is an original member of the advisory board for Black Fret, an Austin nonprofit that provides grants, professional support and mentorship to area musicians.[68][69][70]
