Our album is 1 year old today!  It’s been an incredible adventure that’s brought us to some truly wonderful places and people.  Big and small, near and far.  Bustling city streets and wide, windswept landscapes.  The only constant has been moving and music.  We’ve made some serious tracks and played 127 shows!  Thanks to all who have shared a moment or two with us in the last year.  To celebrate we’d like to offer 127 of (mostly) Sarah’s pics from our life on the road.  Enjoy!

 

Upwards and Onwards. We hit the road.

October 31st. Joshua tree National Park. Guittars and Garage Band. Working on Mrs Claus. Our desert home in a ghoulish landscape on Halloween is a strange setting for writing a Christmas song…

Home sweet home. The winter seems even more impressive and imposing after 2 weeks in the California sun.
I don't know if this is a dream or a nightmare. You mean I have to tune them all?!!

Backstage at the Pearl Street Night Club in North Hampton. Everyone was a feeling a little overwhelmed by an obscene amount of penises, graffitied as far as the eye could reach in every direction and on every surface. Luckily we never travel without a full set of oil paints. What was a shrine to adolescent perversion is now a tranquil forest of mushrooms. Thanks to Blind Pilot for helping to combat visual pollution and eradicating the insidious spread of violent thought and generally bad vibes.

The beautiful Theatre Jacques Coeur in Bourges F. We had an incredible time working in this theatre on a tribute to our beloved and departed friend Lhasa DeSela. Spending a week with her incredibly talented sisters; Sky, Miriam and Ayin, brother Mischa and mother Alexandra, and her old friends Patrick Watson and Arthur H. Working with new friends Emily Loizeau, Alejandra Ribera, L, and Sonia Wieder-Atherton. Meeting an audience that held her so close to their hearts. We all felt blessed to be able to give each other just a little more time with her…
