Please indulge my Canadian Indie kick: Great Lake Swimmers’ (from Toronto) fourth album “Lost channels” is indie folk perfection. . #nowspinning @greatlakeswimmers.bsky.social #vinyl #canadianindie #indiefolk

I was lucky enough to catch @greatlakeswimmers.bsky.social in my town last fall. It was an amazing experience. "Still" is a powerful meditation on perseverance and the uncertainty of life, and I wanted to pay homage to that power through a choral arrangement of it. Hopefully I did it justice.

Dear friends in Ontario (and Montreal)! We're on the road again starting next month for ‘Caught Light' release shows and are excited to share news about the folks who will be joining us. Lauren Dillen, The Deep Dark Woods, and Moonfruits will be supporting select dates. greatlakeswimmers.com#tour
