October 5, 2011 by MorganEve

Paste Magazine, October 5 2011 Brown Bird is gearing up for the release of their latest album Salt for Salt due out October 18th, and we’ve got a new video from them. The duo shows their prowess in this live recording of “Bilgewater” on top of a docked boat. The band recommends listening to their new album in a room made of wood, but the boat is a satisfactory substitute.

A friend of mine had her first motorcycle accident a few years ago. She was unhurt, but rattled, and the bike was in a ditch. I remember her telling me that the cop who responded, after helping her get the bike back up to the street, told her she had to get back on and […]

DEAR FRIENDS,

Over the past year, I have been so overwhelmed and grateful for the amount of love that has surrounded Dave and me throughout our life and career together. There have been so many beautiful stories shared about Dave—how humble he was, how gracious, how talented…He certainly was all those things. Four days after Dave and […]

BE THE MATCH

This William Schaff original will be hanging out at the Be The Match tent at the Newport Folk Festival this weekend. Dave received a successful bone marrow transplant last September, through Be The Match. You could be someone’s savior. Sign up to be a donor.
