My band, Paul Armer & The Dawn Chorus, released an EP last month - I'm very proud of it, I can say with some conviction that if you like acoustic music, there's a good chance you're going to like it!

Check it out on Bandcamp - https://paularmerandthedawnchorus.bandcamp.com/album/heartaches-and-mistakes

Also on streaming services, though we aren't likely to make any money from that 😅

The Pineridge Bluegrass Folklore Society in Oshawa, Ontario, is holding it's next meeting and picking session on Sunday, December 7. For $4, attendees can listen to up to four hours of live bluegrass music - some professional, some amateur. Or, join the slow jam for beginners, or take part in the jam circles with other musicians.

Ended Wednesday and started Thursday after my swim with Mount Carmel by M Grig aka Mike Grigoni, released on 12k in 2019.

...Durham, NC's M. Grig (Michael Grigoni, who comes from the Pacific Northwest originally) has produced a stunning followup. Featuring voice, field recordings and dobro as well as lap steel, pedal steel and acoustic guitar, Mount Carmel is arguably the better of the two albums.

The title comes from a church (there's that word again) near where Grigoni spent his childhood. "I used to think of that entire landscape — the neighbourhood, the church, the hills — as Mount Carmel," he says in the album's notes. "In my mind, I lived at the base of Mount Carmel."

There's more going on here than warm-hearted nostalgia. Grig applies a layering technique that sets acoustic and electric sounds against one another while maintaining a distinctly ambient, even sensuous vibe...
