Ross Ainslie & Tim Edey

2020 summer gig

I just discovered this virtual concert from July 2020 AND IT IS SOOOOOO AWESOME.

With Tim Edey's inventive and high energy guitar playing and Ross Ainslie's musical badassery, this duo is not to be missed!

Plus, the gig starts with some giggles b/c of a unique bicycle that distracts them. Adorable.

Jacob Collier-

Tiny Desk @ Home

Jacob Collier absolutely blew me away with this amazing collection of songs, performed by himself and 3 of his clones. I don't know how many times I've watched this video.

Sudan Archives
via KEXP sessions

Sudan Archives is a wildly creative musician and singer who initially picked up the violin to learn some fiddle tunes. And after mainly self-teaching herself to play, she went on to meld traditional, classical, and more contemporary genres into something completely her own. And it is COOL.

Johnny Flynn

1 of a handful of episodes created by musicians Bela Fleck and Abigail Washburn and their kid as they play, sing and hang out together. A really wonderful collection of videos!

WITH:

Live Concert Film

WITH is a live concert and documentary of EPIC proportions. This incredibly brief tour included members of Sylvan Esso and Mountain Man and the fact that this is still available on YouTube is a gift, IMO.

Enjoy!

Sylvan Esso:

Tiny Desk @ Home

I love Sylvan Esso's original 

Tiny Desk performance, so getting a 

second one in the 

Time of Corona

feels like a generous little gift.

É.T.É. Homegrown Concert

thru American Folklife Center

É.T.É. is a trad band from Quebec that I fell musically in love with a few days ago when they performed at Vermont's New World Festival in Randolph. Their music is inventive, captivating, and full of life!

So glad they're being featured through the Library of Congress. Take a listen!

Amanda Palmer was on tour in NZ when the covid-19 pandemic locked down the country. Now living there for the time being (originally from the US), she's still out and about, playing emotional and music-packed shows (their lockdown worked and covid is quite minimal) and creating art!

Lunasa

E-Concert on YouTube (9/6/20)

YAAAAAY!

Lunasa did a fabulous live-streamed concert in September, and I missed it. It was a pleasure to find that the recording had stayed up on YouTube! Not sure how long it'll stay up, so take advantage while you can!

Lisa Hannigan
