Peter Mulvey & Abbie Gardner Song Swap at the 443

Description

Peter Mulvey has been a songwriter, road dog, raconteur, and almost-poet since before he can remember. In 1989 he spent a year in Ireland, busking on the streets of Dublin and hitchhiking to whatever gigs he could find. Back stateside, he spent a couple of years gigging through the bars of his native Midwest before taking off for Boston, where he returned to subway busking and coffeehouses. Small shows led to larger shows, which eventually led to regional and then national touring. The wheels have not stopped since.

Twenty albums, one illustrated book, thousands of live performances, a TEDx talk, a decades-long association with the National Youth Science Camp, opening tours and gigs for luminaries such as Ani DiFranco, Greg Brown, Emmylou Harris, and Chuck Prophet, appearances on NPR, an annual autumn tour by bicycle, emceeing festivals, hosting his own Lamplighter Sessions for years in Boston and in Wisconsin... he has built his life's work on collaboration, on an instinct for the eclectic and the vital.

With his eighteenth record, "There Is Another World", Mulvey delves into the winter of things. Divorce and death, loss and renewal are all present in a collection of songs that range from terse, haiku-like intensity to warm, evocative poetry. And the poets are littered throughout the record; references to Naomi Shihab Nye, Lorine Niedecker, Ted Kooser, Jim Harrison, Mary Oliver, Rilke, Yeats, and Beckett nestle alongside his musical influences of Greg Brown, Anais Mitchell, and Paul Simon.

Peter will be swapping songs with Abbie Gardner.

Abbie is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana harmony trio Red Molly, her acclaimed tales of love and loss, both gritty and sweet, are propelled by her impeccable lap-style slide guitar playing. Solo performances feature the dobro as a solo instrument, bouncing between a solid rhythmic backbone and ripping lead lines, all in support of her voice and songs. Her latest recording DobroSinger was released May 13, 2022. It’s intimate, real, and raw - her dobro and voice recorded at the same time at home, without a band or any studio tricks to hide behind. You can hear every breath, every chuckle, as if you are in the room with her.
