Nice mention from the NYT about our performance of 'Killed In Action' at the Big Ears Festival!

Big Ears Festival patrons, don't miss Richard this Saturday at the Songs of Our Ancestors panel at Visit Knoxville. The panel takes place between 3:00 - 4:00 PM and includes moderator Ann Powers and participants Rhiannon Giddens and Rachel Grimes. This panel brings together three groundbreaking artists who have crafted major works through direct encounters with archival material, including the diaries and letters of World War 1 soldiers; American slave narratives; and the personal effects of family members.

Join us next Wednesday in Montclair! I'll be reading from my forthcoming book 'Beeswing' and playing some songs - Warren and Zara will be similarly reading and singing.

On sale now!
