The fresh, indie folk sound of local
recording artist Syd Mars will be
among the 35 vocal music acts tak-
ing one of four stages at the annual
Leilapalooza Music Festival at Battle
Creek’s Leila Arboretum Saturday,
July 27 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Mars, a 2020 Olivet High School
graduate who just returned to the
Marshall area after two years in New
York, grew up wanting to someday
perform at Leilapalooza, they said,
so this year’s appearance is like a
dream come true.
“I’ve actually always wanted to
perform Leilapalooza ever since I
knew it was a thing, when I was like,
I don’t know, young,” said Mars.
“And, I reached out when I was in
eighth grade. And they said to send
a video but I never did. And then
this year, I moved back. So I was

them a few videos, said ‘I’d love to
be part of it.’ And they reached out
almost immediately and they said
I’m going to be a part of it.”
Mars has recently released their
new EP, “Melancholia”, which

features four original songs written
from the heart about very personal
experiences, some relating to mental
health.
It can be found on Spotify, Apple
Music and YouTube.
“I play the ukulele with some lay-
ered vocals on top,” Mars explained,
“with some filters, you know, reverb,
all that stuff. All of the songs are
really personal to me. They’re about
my life in the past few years. I’ve
gone through a few things. I’ve gone
through a lot of mental health issues,
and I’m just healing and those songs
are about how I felt at the time,
how I felt recovering and how I feel
now.”
Mars, who last performed live on
open mic at Zuni cafe in New York
City, hails from a musical theatre
