This session from Mark Burgess is the official launch of the Seriocity Sessions. The seeds for the Seriocity Sessions were planted during a recent Mark Burgess (The Chameleons) 40-date US acoustic tour. The magic these small intimate performances striped down the music to its essential core and added powerful storytelling. The result was an even deeper connection to the music and his loyal fanbase. The Seriocity Sessions tries to capture that same magic for more artists and broadcast it to a global audience.
Mark is joined by Stephen Rice on guitar.
The mission of the Seriocity Sessions is to provide working musicians a global platform to tell their stories about their music. This new artist collective will help grow and connect passionate fans worldwide through a compounding effect.
Working musicians continue to struggle from the impact COVID-19 had on the industry. The skyrocketing costs of touring has virtually made it impossible for many artists to make a living. The Seriocity Sessions is a virtual portal for musicians and fans to discover new music.

I can hardly put into words how much these songs touch me --- just fantastic and really heart-touching. The Chameleons are a great band that enrich my whole life!

I am with you so much on this. Just saw them for the first time in almost 40 years and bought tickets to see him again in two weeks on this tour. After seeing so many bands from that era lately I gotta say, Mark is remarkable in energy and ability to go beyond the “pulling it off” I have seen so much of. You know it when you are in the presence of someone doing what they are meant to do with still fresh passion and not one hint of nostalgia or staleness. Ultimate respect for that guy!

I know exactly what you mean.. The Chamelons are able to touch deep parts of my soul. Listening to their music brings me complete serenity and deep feeling.. It always brings me to tears. I’ll be seeing them live in two weeks for the first time and I am counting down the days.. this band is pure bliss, pure heart and an overall complete masterpiece.

Been listening to these songs for some years now and to finally hear the stories behind them is such a lovely gift. Thanks, Mark, for sharing them and your genius with the world! Second Skin is probably my favourite song ever and I'll never listen to it the same way again. Lots of love all the way from Brazil. ❤

The universe needs to protect Mark Burgess at all costs. I had a deep connection with the Chameleons music when first hearing it and seeing them live as a teenager in the mid-eighties and that appreciation has lasted for nearly 40 years. In fact, I just saw them perform in Columbus last night. Hearing Mark explain the impetuses of these songs in this session is a special thing and helps me understand more clearly why I connect with his music so much. Brilliant and meaningful stuff.

my god, Second Skin is one of my all time favourite songs, but I didn't know it was about that. No wonder it is has such sublime majesty. This chat makes up for not going backstage (in N'cl) last night when I saw The Chameleons for the first time, despite having listened for years and years. Really a special force in music. Mystical profundity in all they do.

Discovering the Chameleons helped me through a very hard time, stuck in a small town in the South with no one to talk to, pre-internet. Also helped me become more a progressive and empathetic man. Which is hard to do around these parts.

'Tears' has broken me down many times over the decades, thinking of my own losses, but hearing Mark's story behind the song means I'll never listen again with dry eyes. I was an embarrassing puddle! Holy smokes, Mark, how do you ever get through that song? Seriously, your music has brought so much comfort since I first heard it in the 1980s. Thank you.

This is fantastic Mark. Don't let this fade out like a lot of these social media endeavors do for artists/musicians. Keeping this going takes a lot of energy and work with the risk of the occasional folly and half-baked episodes but consistently doing these/the perseverance will pay off.

Mark is a God and getting even better with age. But the real revelation is Steven Rice. I often make up supergroups in my imagination, for example I wonder what the Bunnymen's Will Sergeant at the peak of his powers (Heaven up Here and Reverberation come to mind) and Mark Burgess would sound like together? But with the synergy between Steven and Mark means that I do not need to imagine! It is a new and wonderful take on already great songs. Amazing sound quality as well, good enough to release as an EP?
