This fall has seen a really nice diversity of projects for me, and I thought I’d share some of them.

For those of you who have been following my work, you’ll know that I’ve been collaborating more and more with the excellent Pearl and the Beard, a Brooklyn indie-folk-pop trio. In the past I’ve played violin and accordion with them at NYC shows, and I contributed a couple of string arrangements to their debut album, God Bless Your Weary Soul, Amanda Richardson. This autumn, I engineered, produced, and mixed two songs on their brand new EP Black Vessel. Please check out this EP, which you can listen to for free online, or download for a very reasonable fee. This winter, I’ll be collaborating with them a bit on their new (as-of-yet-untitled) album, which will be produced by the virtuosic troubadour Franz Nicolay.

In early November, I had the lucky opportunity to perform (violin) in a new piece by Matt Marble – musical accompaniment for Rebecca Davis’ what I’m saying is born from the weather. It was an exciting ensemble, featuring a few of my favorite musicians (including Bob Jones on bass). We performed in the historic Judson Memorial Church, and Matt has graciously included some audio excerpts here.

Rounding out the season, I finished recording an album with Sam Pluta and Peter Evans. The album is just duets between Sam and me, and Sam and Peter. We’re really excited about the sounds on this album – they’re completely new to our ears. The album is due to be released early February on Carrier Records. For a taste of what to expect, check out some video that was shot at our recent concert at The Tank. In addition to the video below, we have a trio, and another duet.
