Martha and the Muffins co-founder Mark Gane talks about his debut solo album called Garden Music, his creative and life partner Martha Johnson, their song Echo Beach putting him into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, being signed to Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin UK record label, sharing a Juno Award with Anne Murray, having three albums produced by Daniel (then Danny) Lanois, touring with the Eurythmics, why they changed their name to M + M (and subsequently back to Martha and the Muffins), their battles with Live Nation over naming of their Echo Beach venue (why no plaque?!?), and why he is at peace with the notion that ONCE a Muffin, ALWAYS a Muffin!
