Name: Northern Sky (Nick Drake) by VISSIA
Duration: 3 min 55 s
Description: This is a cover of Nick Drake's "Northern Sky." I recorded it as part of a Holiday EP project we've started doing every year. Thanks to Nich Davies for playing drums, and Jon Lagore for playing lead guitar and helping me record vocals. The rest of the instruments were played by me.

This is a really lovely version of my favourite ND song. It's hard to like covers of fav songs but this one has its own vibe. Lots more people should hear this!

If this week’s show were a party, it’d be one that would keep you dancing til dawn.
With a musical resume that includes show busking across Europe, and a stint performing alongside circus acts in Granada, The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra makes folk music with a worldly sound.

In this set, you’ll hear Spanish, Celtic, Roma, and African influences on display as the band shares their unique brand of roots music. The performance you’ll hear tonight was recorded on the weekend of the 2015 Canadian Folk Music Awards. And, as you’ll hear, the crowd was in a mood to celebrate.

The Tequila Mockingbird Orchestra is Ian Griffiths on vocals, keys and accordion, Kurt Loewen on vocals and guitar, Paul Wolda on percussion, Mack Shields on fiddle, and Keith Rodger on bass and mandolin. 

Setlist:
Otter Song
Canoe Song
Funeral Song
Deje Mi Vida
Wolfe et Montcalm
Is It Time
Come Back Home
Maria
XO Tango

"Birthday" is the first single from Gia Margaret's debut album, THERE'S ALWAYS GLIMMER, out 7/27/18 on Orindal Records.

Pre-order vinyl + digital now at http://orindal.com

Chicago singer/songwriter/producer Gia Margaret describes her music as “sleep rock.” It’s a genre all her own, combining elements of folk, shoegaze, slowcore, ambient electronica and trip hop. For her self-produced debut album, There’s Always Glimmer (out July 27, 2018 on Orindal Records), Gia Margaret crafted twelve gorgeously melancholic lullabies to combat her own insomnia, and to salvage some beauty from the brighter and darker moments of her life.

There’s Always Glimmer explores relationships between friends, family members and significant others, often in past tense. Sparse verses isolate mundane moments of domestic and urban life, and choruses ache with earnest expressions of yearning and loss. The disarmingly simple language of Gia Margaret’s lyrics, when carried by the melodic sparkle of her singing voice, have the power to elevate an ordinary moment into something supremely nostalgic and sentimental. A ride on a train, a hand on a shoulder, a dog in a yard, the light of the moon through an apartment window are each made significant and sacred, worthy of examination and preservation.

As much as it addresses the unease in our lives, each song on There’s Always Glimmer is steeped in loving comfort, awash with gentle sounds to usher the still minutes before dreams come, when we’re left alone amidst the shadows and the echoes of our memory. There’s Always Glimmer exists to fill the darkness and the quiet.

There's Always Glimmer
