We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the release of our good friend Eric Long’s first full band album, “Looking Up.” We've had the pleasure of sharing shows and great memories over the past couple of years with Eric - he's a consummate songwriter, an ever-curious traveler, and a proud owner of a heart of gold.
Also, did you know both Dave & Thom moonlight as members of his band The Short Tempers? ‘Tis True. Out now on all streaming platforms, here’s a bit from Eric’s website about “Looking Up.”
We’re still in awe that we’ve managed to pull off a THIRD annual Every Folk camp, and we’re all still floating in the clouds a bit after such an amazing weekend. Each year, the Every Folk experience gets richer, and as the camp hosts, we are more and more amazed by the connections and experiences the campers bring to our extended weekend of folk music and skills. We are so grateful to every single person that joined us this year - for all of camp, or even just for Saturday’s Potluck Square Dance.
This week, we thought we'd share a recording we made a few weeks ago of a Joni Mitchell song that we made as part of Social Distance Live’s UnderCovered series.
"Both Sides Now" is a poignant reminder for us to try and put ourselves in others' shoes; there are multiple ways to look at almost anything in life. For us, the song's theme highlights the need to remain humble and open to new perspectives in any moment, especially right now amidst the global civil rights conversation.
Joni’s songs have provided a soundtrack to many moments of our lives, and we are both so grateful for the brilliant lyricism and uniqueness she brought to the world.
