Big Quack Records
(Mark Dodge)

Big Quack Records is Seagrass Gallery photographer Mark Dodge's "home brew" record label. Mark is a multi-instrumentalist who practiced for a decade at home, honed his chops for a decade on the road playing in full-time professional bands, and has spent a couple of decades now sorting it all out afterward. Mark is now focusing on creating a body of musical work, starting with these recordings with other songwriters where he plays multiple instruments as well as mixing and producing the recordings and designing the packages.
 

Steve Harris & Friends
Here on Island Time

Here on Island Time is a collection of tunes recorded 'live' in the studio to capture the sound and energy of the live performances of this eclectic band. Here is what The Stanwood-Camano News had to say about it:

"Here On Island Time features the musical complexities of the original Fleetwood Mac, combined with the folksy storytelling of Willie Nelson and Joni Mitchell, all done with lyrics kindred to the heart and humor of Randy Newman ... a seamless combination of acoustic guitar riffs and staggering adagio harmonizing." - Bridget Budbill, S-C News

Tim Miller CD Cover - Jazz from the Camano ShoreTim Miller
Jazz from the Camano Shore

This CD includes just a few of Tim's 500+ original compositions, plus two cover tunes - one by soprano sax legend Wayne Shorter, and one from Pat Metheny. All songs recorded by Tim with Aeden Hunter on bass, Kevin Miller on keyboards, and Mark Dodge on guitar and drums. Tim has written beautiful tunes with tasteful lyricism and memorable themes, and displays formidable jazz chops. Tim was born and raised in Stanwood, Washington, and studied at the UNLV Fine Arts Jazz department.

Steve Harris
Northwestern Sky

The original songs of Steve Harris are contagious. Steve's fluid acoustic guitar style has been influenced and blended by years of playing professionally in folk, bluegrass and Celtic bands in a variety of venues. Mark Dodge contributed to the songwriting, and added guitar, bass, drums, vocals, and tenor ukulele. Several songs on the record also feature the saxophone virtuosity of Big Quack Records' artist Tim Miller, as well as the pure sweet harmony vocals of the South End String Band's Wende Hilyard.

Giza
Time Heals

This Stanwood/Camano band - singer/songwriter Roger Ludwick, drummer Kevin Miller, and guitar, bass and keyboardist Mark Dodge - created a record of emotional, melodic, somewhat trippy songs.

"Time Heals is one exquisitely produced album. These Camano Island gentlemen have all been making music for decades, and it shows. They've crafted a mellow, great-sounding CD, full of jangling guitars, snaky leads, and well-considered percussive effects. The level of musicianship is top-notch, and the singing is heartfelt." - Jim Nauseam, What's Up! magazine, Bellingham, WA.

Bob Christensen
Rear View

Bob Christensen is a singer/songwriter with a voice like an old comfortable shoe, and an entertainer who makes everyone feel right at home. Bob's new record is a collection of great songs written by Bob and Mark and seven other songwriters with a gift for storytelling.
