Interview and Performance on WNCW
A couple of weeks ago I drove up to Fletcher, NC to record a session for WNCW
with banjo, baritone uke, electric guitar, cello, and some killer
harmonies. We performed three songs from the upcoming record and I
talked with host Laura Blackley about the making of the album and other
musical adventures. The songs and interview will be airing this Sunday
night (1/26) at 7:30pm in SC, TN, and NC on WNCW's Local Color: on
88.7FM (Asheville, NC), 97.3FM (SC), 99.1FM (Charlotte, NC), 90.9FM
(Wilkesboro, TN) and streaming LIVE on WNCW.org for anyone, anywhere to
listen: http://wncw.org/listen-live

Kickstarter launched!

About the album:
About the album:
Might Nigh is an Appalachian English word meaning almost or very nearly.
This album represents songs of homecoming and passage. Moving back to
the upstate region of South Carolina after four years of living in New
York city (and before that, Boston), I reconnected with the sights and
sounds of my childhood- the Blue Ridge Mountains, the sounds of southern
tree frogs and cicadas at night. Life came richly- I got married and
embarked on a lifetime exploration of loving another human being through
ups and downs, we lost his father Jack to cancer, and I have explored
at new depths and heights the joys and losses of life. These experiences
have woven themselves into a group of songs that I am proud of- songs
that survived self critique and re-writing to make it into the final
record shared here.
Recorded and mixed with Scott Minor at Wild Chorus Studio in Knoxville, Tennessee and also engineered in Austin, Texas with Grant Johnson, the album showcases familiar voices and sounds from previous records (shout out to the Annie Street crew), but also brings an infusion of more rock-driven and electronic sounds to the fore. This record is a natural next step, and I am excited to share it with you.
The funds raised here will pay for final mixing with Wild chorus, Mastering with Carl Saff in Northwest Chicago, the costs of artwork for the album and CD printing costs. Any additional funds raised beyond the project goal will go to use in the form of independent promotion of this record as it is not financially supported by any record label. As an independent artist, anything above the project goal will be used to share this record with as many people as possible.
Many thanks to fans and friends who have supported this music over the years. I'm very excited to share this project with you and hope you will be inspired to share it with others. Thanks for your support!
