Shortly after finishing Happy Songs of Death, I started work on my next studio album, The Bridge. This one was produced by Rich Brotherton, an amazing multi-instrumentalist in Austin. He plays with a LOT of great musicians and produced a number of albums by Celtic musicians.
Happy Songs of Death was a great folk album. But I wanted someone to help me create a Celtic album with a lot of my original songwriting, while also fusing elements of New Orleans blues and jazz.
The result is something I'm still super proud of. There are some traditional songs highlighting my new style of autoharp playing that featured those blues/jazz/rock rhythms. It also had a few original songs, including the title track, a brand new recording of a song I wrote back in 2000 that was consistently loved by Brobdingnagian Bards' fans.
What are your favorite tracks on The Bridge?
Listen to the album on Bandcamp.
Thanks so much!
