I've been acquainted with Mack Greenlaw, aka Macka, for a few years now through the club scene and numerous screenings of The Apple. I knew that the boy could dance and looked better in a bim than most people who would go to the NuArt on a Friday night, but not until yesterday, after receiving a bulletin from a mutual friend, did I know that Macka can sing too!
It took Macka four months of being cooped up in a closet with one keyboard to make his debut release, The Joke Involves Lying, and tomorrow night he will be performing his first ever show at The Gig. If the rest of the CD is like the songs he has posted on his My Space page, then we should all be in for a treat. Check out "That's More Like It," which shows off Macka's ability for songwriting in addition to some seriously sweet singing.
