BLOGOTHEQUE TAKE AWAY SHOW – AUSTIN, TX

May 26th, 2011

It’s nice to be home. Thank you to all the lovely people I met along the way, and for being such beautiful attentive audiences. It was such a treat to play stripped down versions of FCL songs and to try out a few new ones. I did some video sessions whilst in Halifax, but I will post those later.

Instead, here is the Blogotheque Take Away show that Claire and I did. I’m a huge fan of the work that these guys do, they seem to capture great musical moments with a lot of my favourite bands. We were honoured to be included. We filmed it in our friend Dave’s backyard in Austin, Texas while he was out. I hope he didn’t mind…

Dead leaves with winter breath?

May 5th, 2011

We did a session with the Kiyanna Project while we were in Austin. They were very lovely people and were able to coax a story out of me about what went into “If I Were A Tree”.  It’s rare that I tell the stories behind my songs; I really like people to apply their own meaning to my words and use them in their own moments.  But if you were curious, listen on dear grasshopper…
