Music is always playing in my studio – & generally throughout the house too. While I do have a fairly large & diverse collection of music, I find that I’ve been leaning pretty heavily towards Pandora radio these days- just so I don’t get in a music rut. I keep little pieces of scrap paper and a pen next to where I work so I can jot down songs & artists that I like to later look up when I have the time. The big trick I find, is reading my writing when I actually do go to look up these musicians. I lucked out this weekend though, I stumbled on Portland, OR artist , Laura Gibson . She reminds me a little of Jolie Holland & Madeleine Peyroux. Have a listen…
I’m really drawn to her sensibility & find her music a nice match for these cold, winter days in the studio. There is just something about the idea of a musician performing in a bookstore that really appeals to me. If you enjoyed her music, you can listen to her Tiny Desk Concert at NPR music here. Happy Music Monday!
