alberta Live from Clubhouse Austin - sxsw
4.5.19
In the noise of SXSW week, we had the pleasure of tucking into Clubhouse Austin to play some songs for their cameras and a small and beautiful audience. Now you can see the full, elegantly shot version of Alberta from Clubhouse Austin : Music Up Close on their YouTube.
Thanks to everyone at Clubhouse Austin and Flow NonFiction for the hospitality and the reprieve from the madness.
RECORDING IN STINSON BEACH, CA
4.5.19
We spent last week recording at Panoramic House in Stinson Beach, California. What an amazing week with Mark Nevers once again producing, engineer Scott McDowell and Matt Pence (Centro-matic), William Tyler and Kai Welch (Kacey Musgraves) rounding out the crew. We love what happened and look forward to putting the finishing touches on it over the next few months.
Here are a few photos (click to scroll the gallery) from the week by Amanda Marmer.
