This week I have Irish singer/songwriter, Mark Dignam, on the podcast! Mark grew up in the outskirts of Dublin, Ireland. It was in Dublin where he gained experience as a performer by busking around town with well-known folk singer, Glen Hansard. Since then, Dignam has brought his love of music to Pittsburgh, PA where he continues to write and perform.In our conversation, we discuss the Catholic Church and the transcendent release he feels when performing on stage. <a href="https://americansongwriter.com/american-songwriter-podcast-network/" rel="nofollow">American Songwriter Podcast Network</a>
