dear Queen Victoria’s ghost, in late autumn of last year, i was walking with a friend to the southwestern end of Loch Muick in the Scottish Highlands, looking for a bothy she’d heard was tucked away there, when to our great surprise, we came across Glas-allt-Shiel, the gloriously lonely, gratuitously enormous lodge you had built […]
happy new year, everyone. with lots of love. and hope. and happy birthday (yesterday) to “no ghostless place”. thinking about the coming year and what is possible. or impossible, it really doesn’t matter which, to me. deeply missing performing. continuing at every moment otherwise to work on some urgent new songs for album number […]
memories of Europe remain achingly with me here, back in Canada, and not only within the new songs i’ve been working on – recently, an interview i was invited to by La Face B while i was in Paris at the end of September, was published, and it’s been a deeply moving experience to revisit […]
this might look like a waterfall i met a couple of days ago in Québec, but it’s also an X-ray of my heart, captured during last week’s concert in London, Ontario. thank you from its depths to everyone who came to listen, to The Aeolian for hosting/containing me for my first performance back in Canada […]
heading back to Canada after some songwriting in Iceland, some adventures in the Scottish highlands, and the loveliest and most life-affirming tour imaginable. still as incandescent with emotion from the shows i played in Europe as i was the day i left Poland; my heart is spilling out of me like the Aurora, too big […]
i’m very late with this, because i’ve been inside an avalanche since leaving Poland. the fall European tour has ended (i think), and the echoes it’s generated feel infinite and overwhelming, and i’m in the Cairngorms in Scotland now, which is somehow still not a vast enough space to contain them. thank you, Kraków, for […]
new show. ❤️ thrilled to be performing in Kraków, Poland next week, on Tuesday, October 28th, at Confession Club. huge gratitude to Jakub at Łabandzi Śpiew for all the effort he’s put into organizing the concert, and to Krzysztof at GEM for stepping in to take care of sound. show starts at 20:00, tickets 20 PLN. […]
Warsaw, part 2: MIT Space, Sunday, October 19th. the picture below says everything about last night’s private concert here in Warsaw – it’s one of the welcome cards that Victoria, who organized every aspect of the evening, made for each guest, and placed on their seats to find when they arrived, each with a unique […]
Warsaw, part 1 of 2: Café Michelle, Friday, October 17th. if i could arrange for all of the birds in the universe to burst, singing, out of your screens, it would come close to expressing what performing twice in Warsaw over the past three days has done to my heart. but i think this would […]
here is my guitar on a street corner in Warsaw, Poland. which can only mean that i’m close by. i wish i had a better picture to accompany this post, but since i’ve arrived have mostly just been immersed in all that Warsaw is. including some time spent in Łazienki Park yesterday evening, where the […]
