Singer/Songwriter Mark Newman Announces New Single "At The Border"

Singer/songwriter Mark Newman is proud to present the new single "At The Border," now available on Spotify and all major music services.

About the tune, Mark explained, "'At The Border' was originally written with the struggles people were experiencing fleeing the war in Ukraine in mind, but is also inspired by the millions of people all around the world trying to escape oppression and hunger on an ongoing basis."
