Hello to everyone from Antarctica! It means so much to me to know that JPOB found a place in your livesā¦this is really all I hope for from music, the feeling that in making it we might reach other people who feel the same (in the broadest sense). Thank you for keeping this music alive and well. JM

Happy new year to all of you from Antarctica, where Iām deep in book research & tagging along with a crew of mad scientists. But looking forward to returning later this year, carrying stories and songs to share with you.

Friends- We hope these dark days are nevertheless treating you well, and that you have at least a bit of rest in store before the joys and horrors of 2026 lurch into gear. (As for us, we're about to master a new album, and hope/expect that later next year we'll finally return to live performing).

Iāve just learned that a scam has been reaching out to indiegogo users, claiming to be me, offering to āhelpā with their campaignā& using this phony email:
[email protected]
.Ā Ā No matter what email they use, if you receive a message like this, please know this is not real.Ā (JM)

I can only describe myself as *gob-smacked* to see AMRC among the top 10 best sellers at Third Place Books Ravenna in Seattle this week. Yowza! See the evidence herewith. Many thanks to Rafe Posey for being such a tireless champion of the book. (JM)

Please consider us gob-smacked, and deeply grateful. Thanks for more-than-exceeding our first day expectations for our new albumās crowdfunding campaign! There are still many days to go and great perks, but we wanted to express our gratitude after a banner day.

Friends, Four years ago, we launched a crowdfunding campaign for a new Shearwater albumāand you helped us create, promote & distribute an LP we loved, without the support of a label. Weāre doing that again now, for our nearly-complete new album The New World.

I've heard from several of you about the yellow-headed caracara that turned up this month in Galveston, Texasāa juvenile, like the one inspecting a snoozing tapir for yummy ectoparasites in one of my favorite pictures from AMRC.

Great holiday read of you are interested in history, conservation and/or birds. It's about the legendary bird of prey, the caracaras. Great research and quality storytelling by Jonathan Meiburg, of the highly underappreciated indie band Shearwater
