We haven’t heard from The Staves in a while, and, in truth, I don’t know what new music they’r making; but they’re coming to Canada and The States this summer (including Chicago!; see link below). Here’s an old performance of their song “Open,” recorded live and outdoors (on a boat) in Paris:
Their tour, whose schedule is here, kicks off June 10 in Montreal, then back to London, and then to the States until June 26, with an August performance in Wisconsin. There will undoubtedly be other dates filled in.
Lovely harmonies.
I can also highly recommend the Candian(/USian sometimes) group: The Wailin’ Jennys. More goose-bump inducing harmonies and great song song writing.
One Voice
Must proof-read!
Canadian
Song writing
Sheesh!
Enchanting!
This song reminded me of a song sung by a New Zealand artist called Tiny Ruins that was sung over the film credits at the end of a documentary about the Air New Zealand Mount Erebus disaster. The song is called “A Bird in Thyme”. I’d go to see The Staves if they ever made their way to New Zealand.
