August 2019 will see me touring the UK and Ireland with a strip of shows devoted entirely to the music of Arthur Russell. The Peter Broderick & Friends Play Arthur Russell album is still available as a free download and I’ll be selling the remaining vinyl and cassette copies at the shows. For the Irish show I’ll be playing solo, but for the UK dates I’ll be joined by a band of lovely Glaswegians. At those shows you can even expect to be able to get your dance on! Come join us and let’s GO BANG!!
I went into the OpenLab studio in Barcelona a couple months ago and played a couple Arthur Russell tunes there which you can find below, including my own rendition of ‘Lucky Cloud’ and the as-yet-unreleased ‘I Wish I Had A Brother’.
Loving that Lucky Cloud version. Amazing the amount of detail in it.
Hope that one’s played live.
He certainly had a wealth of songs and sounds. For some reason I’m obsessed by –
What It’s Like off Love is Taking Over Me.
