Slowcity.ca Open Mic: Matt Holtby, Katie Cruel, Art Bergman, Allison Russell, Alana Springsteen, Andrew Bird, Nubya Garcia, and Haviah Mighty

Will McGuirk July 14, 2023

“This guitar represents the lingering presence of something (in my case, someone) who’s gone but also very much not. Every time I think I’ve written my way past the hurt, I’m reminded that I have a long way to go” - Alana Springsteen

“I was playing for the joy of it and to get these ideas out of my head. To hear them in a room. There is no room. Second, these pieces were recorded primarily outside in Ojai, CA. I’m no stranger to recording outside as with the Echolocations series. My plan was to record Inside Problems outside, but the leaf-blowers made that difficult…Deep in the pandemic, far from the city and album campaigns and Instagram strategies, getting back to the original point of it all.” - Andrew Bird

“Inspired by the sounds of Garage that I grew up around, this track is about the combination of leaning into the frenzy of life and going with the flow, letting the universe keep things moving, and trusting it’s all gonna’ bop along.” - Nubya Garcia
