People are talking about civil war. A new film imagines a US civil war in the near future. I went to the @USNatArchives to write this for @NewYorker about the actual US Civil War, or rather the pictures that were made during it. cc: @A24 @fsgbooks newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘grisly murder ballads, beautifully played’ @guardian Saturday night with @samamidon, @RobynStapleton and @nicomuhly. A gorgeous (and sometimes gruesome!) exploration into folk tunes of Scotland and America at @KingsPlace. 📷 Monika S. Jakubowska

Exhilarating evening at @KingsPlace . Come for the simplicity of the old songs and the gorgeous voices of @RobynStapleton and @samamidon , stay for the sophistication of @nicomuhly and the @auroraorchestra. Folk songs seen through a glass of orchestral manoeuvres, darkly.
Henry Grimes ! ! !
My band @new_dangerfield just dropped our first single!! Take a listen: lnk.to/new-dangerfield
Rehearsing with @auroraorchestra @nicomuhly in advance of tomorrow’s King’s Place concert also featuring @RobynStapleton - here’s a bit of “How Come That Blood”
