Singing a modern version of Tom Paxton's "Daily News":

This song came from Barack Obama's speech in Minnesota back in June:

@ Freddies Backroom:

Buy the music on CD Baby.

What began as a meditation on the constellations and our irreverent mimicry has predictably morphed into a messier, more interesting enterprise. Seattle-based songwriter Ali Marcus is hard at work on her fifth-ish record, presumptively titled “Orion” - only she is pretty sure that the celestial namesake will not stick. For now, we’ll go with “Forthcoming,” so that the intentions are clear.

“Forthcoming” will be her first release since April’s “Mostly Piano EP,” and it’s tracklist has spent all spring and summer getting road-tested for, among other things, rhythm, ‘tude, and sincerity. Audiences from New York to Carolina to New Mexico to California to the Great Northwest have been responsible for determining this criteria and making the call.

Additionally, Ali has rounded up a handful of accomplished musicians to add to the new record, finally bringing the oft-requested ‘full band’ sound onto tape – well, ok, onto chip. Keep your ears peeled for drums, upright bass, and banjo among the usual guitar, piano, harmonica.

Touring plans for the rest of the year include a trip to the Bay Area for some solo shows as well as a Sweetheart Army appearance, and a four-month long regional push casually dubbed “The Coffeehouse Tour.”

What happened with the whole “Orion” thing, anyway? Well, there are still plenty of stories about Gods and Goddesses – their various pursuits and what exactly they did that landed them in the heavens for eternity. It’s turns out, though, that the heavens are merely a reflection of the land, this land, Woody’s land – more varied and stunning than the outlines in the sky will ever be.

Please visit www.alimarcus.com for all the updated information, and join her mailing list too. She sells t shirts that are beautiful and soft, vintage style, and they help to pay for things like more music. Almost half of the new album is available for free download, and all the songs can be previewed!

"Hanging on a Wire" is so good that if I heard it on the radio, I would have to stay in my car with the radio on until the DJ said who wrote the song and then I would drive directly to the music store and buy the album. Seriously. I will definitely be at one of your upcoming shows.
