Daytrotter session released today!

[quote] The people in Talvik’s songs are weary, but they’ve also, miraculously, retained the stars in their eyes, those blazing gleams that they’ll be damned if they ever let get rattled or ripped from them. [/quote] – read more…

My Daytrotter session is released today, and for all of you who asked about which album the Wichita Lineman cover is on, and I’ve said none – here it is! For all of you who asked on which album the Swedish folk song is on – you’ll have to wait a little longer.

I’m super excited to be a part of the Daytrotter tribe and I hope you enjoy my session. Courtesy of Daytrotter you can also grab a free copy (or pay what you want) of my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem!

For you who are unfamiliar with Daytrotter (shame on you!) here’s a little description on what it’s all about:

Daytrotter is a website for the recording studio Horseshack, which hosts recording sessions with many popular and typically upcoming indie music acts. The sessions can be compared to that of a radio station’s lounge recordings, where musicians passing through the town can record live in the studio. Due to their tendency to offer an eclectic sampling of music, and their production style the sessions have been compared to that of the legendary Peel Sessions. Daytrotter have served more than 21.5 million song downloads. Other noted artists that have been featured on Daytrotter is Bon Iver, Counting Crows, Fleet Foxes Ani DiFranko to mention a few.

Emergency call-out!

I need your help!

Going down a mountain in Idaho our rear tire exploded. We made it down to a small restuarant where we could call for help as there’s no cell reception at all in the mountains. A new truck tire is obviously expensive, but that’s not the worst of it. When it exploded it ripped up the compartment for the black water tank and banged up another compartment. But worst of all – it ripped off a lot of electrical wires underneath, which means we don’t even know the extent of the damage yet. Check out the video below and you’ll see what it looks like.

We need your help to get the RV in shape to be able to continue the tour, so I put up my new album on “pay what you want”. So please go HERE to get my album and everything you pay for it will go to repairing the RV. Please share this on your Facebook and Twitter. Anything will help! Thank you!!!

 

Drivin’ & Dreaming Episode #9

This is the Ohio episode of Drivin’ & Dreaming. We check out the Zombies in Canton and visit some folk radio shows (read more and listen to them here). The RV breaks down again and my fans come to the rescue! A big big thank you to all who chipped in and helped us get back on the road!

I’ve released 9 episodes so far and the next one will be the last of the show. Stay tuned for the season finale!

I’ve been yo-yoing around in the Midwest now for a while and I just wanted to share some new articles and interviews that’s popped up along the way. I’ve had some great receptions in South Dakota as well as Council Bluffs, IA. Actually Iowa has proved itself to be one of the productive states for me so far. A lot of great shows and attention!
