Weigle deftly crafts songs that honor gay experience without shutting anyone else out. His words are vivid and evocotive without overstatement.\' Sing Out Magazine, Angela Page. \'Weigle is really good at placing bridges between the struggles of gays and straights. Beautifully moving lyrics flow with clarity and passion. He often visits the theme of the freedom to be and show who you are. Weigle is an excellent writer with an emotoinel delivery. ...his music is a way for us to place all love and loss in focus.\' Gay Chicago Magazine, Mark Christopher. \'Weigle\'s strength is the combination of the simplest of lyrics with emotion-husky vocals that make one wonder: \'Geez, how the hell does he do it?\' as the seemingly plain becomes the profound.\' To get onto my e-mail list, send your Name, City, State, ZIP CODE and preferred e-address to: shows@markweigle.com I\'ll let you know when I play near you, and send occasional news updates.
