Monday Roundup #4

In the absence of concert listings, my regular Monday dispatches have fallen off. After bringing some life to the blog with the "bumping into" series, I figure I should get back in the groove. I'm guessing that this will be a bit like what used to get shoved into the end of the post when I was doing listings — some bandcamp suggestions, nods to a few livestreams, and sundry community notes (email me if you have anything that needs broadcast in the latter category!). Plus maybe a look back through the MFS archives.

A quieter week this time 'round. I grabbed plenty stuff from Bandcamp on Friday, but I'm just starting to absorb it now, so expect some recommendations next next week!

  • ... on February 14, 2019 at The Tranzac's Main Hall (for Sound For Silence II). [P.S.: kind of an inside-out cover-band version of The Weather Station here, with Tamara Lindeman joined by Ben Whiteley, Sam Gleason, Geordie Gordon and Evan Cartwright.]

Recording: Donna Linklater

Artist: Donna Linklater

Song: I Hear Voices

Recorded at Workman Arts – Main Hall (Long Winter 7.4), February 9, 2019.

Donna Linklater - I Hear Voices

With its multiple floors, cavernous halls, creaky stairwells and peeling-paint grandeur, Workman Arts might be the closest thing Long Winter has found to its old home at the pre-restoration Great Hall. A lone figure on the massive Main Hall stage, Donna Linklater offered up some songs from the recent Tough Guy album. Despite the space surrounding her, she managed to pull the room in a little closer with her buoyant vocals (shades of a more earthbound Mary Margaret O'Hara), ukulele chops and sympathetic beats.

[Donna Linklater will be playing an early show at Burdock on Sunday, May 5th along with Jennifer Foster.]
