Home - Home Before Midnight

Home Before Midnight Publishing is the creative home of author and musician Joe Markko—bringing together books, music, essays and more than half a century of storytelling.

From historical fiction and memoir to the untold history of Christian rock, the work found here is shaped by experience, faith, memory and the enduring belief that words and music can still matter in a distracted world.

Explore the Books

Explore the award-winning historical novel The Cowbird’s Song, the deeply personal autobiography When Someday Comes, and The Birth of Christian Rock and the Story of Agape—the remarkable story of the Jesus Movement and the musicians who helped create a new genre of American music.

Listen to the Music

Long before Home Before Midnight became a publishing house, there was music. Discover the songs of Joe Markko with recordings from Home Before Midnight, the Troubled Planet Project and the All Saved Freak Band.
