Old Man Markley has revealed a new song called “Rehearsal” from their forthcoming album, Down Side Up, today at AmericanSongwriter.com. Down Side Up is the band’s sophomore album due out on March 5th via Fat Wreck Chords, which can be pre-ordered now.

For their latest track “Rehearsal,” a heartfelt story of a hardworking immigrant, Old Man Markley mix things up with a little folk and Americana blended with their signature “newgrass” sound and the result is a stellar toe-tapping experience.

“”Rehearsal” tells the tale of an immigrant who came to the U.S. at the turn of the last century and eventually found work at a funeral home,” Katie Weed (fiddle, vocals) tells AmericanSongwriter.com. “He worked as a musician at night also, and his band would drive to shows in his hearse since it was the only vehicle that could accommodate all the members and their gear. His story really struck me: the dedication to his family and his music, in spite of the dangers and travails of working both day and night. Life is short–and he saw death on a daily basis–yet (or maybe because of that) he really seems to have filled his to the brim.”

Today’s debut of “Rehearsal” follows the recent release of the first new track, “Blood on My Hands,” from Down Side Up, which is available for free download at http://www.fatwreck.com/record/detail/792.

Old Man Markley are currently making their way to Cleveland where they’ll kick off a tour with Dropkick Murphys on February 21st.
