Devon Sproule

the van is chargin’ toward the east coast!  hope to see you there…and thanks for letting your peeps know!

so many more shows here!

Ahhhhh, this is the sweetest Low-key Karaoke ever! Only Caitlin’s voice is beautiful enough not to be outshined by Ginger’s gorgeous coat and curiosity. Hear more of it over here:

I met Caitlin at in Arlington, VA at a show and on July 10th we’re gonna team up to sing this tune together live at the IOTA Club, alriiiight!

my amazing friend lindsey made this today:

My mom gave me one of those art kit things for Christmas.  There were some watercolor pencils in there so I used them to make this weird comic from my friend Devon Sproule’s song ‘If I Can Do This’.  That song and the album it’s on are the jam but don’t listen to it unless you want to sing it to yourself all night and day.

daytrotter – may 15, 2014

you can hear the east austin birds in a couple of these tracks, through the windows at good danny’s, here in austin.  grant johnson engineered the session.  hope you guys like the new tunes.

played at the british library this weekend, and a very nice place in somerset called the david hall.  at the library, prof phil took me down to the basement and i saw all kinds of cool stuff.  bach’s notewriting is kinda curly!  chopin’s, verrrrry small.  here i am striking a quick born-to-run in soundcheck for some reason, snagged by the very charming ander mcintyre.  shows in austin coming up this week…

low-key karaoke is a remote duet project where i video myself singing just the harmony part of a well-known song, you sing along, and then you (hopefully) send me a video and i edit them together to make a sweet, sweet duet.

updated april 23rd, 2013: below are the newest submissions plus the two that mike o’neill and i did before we started our more official collaboration.

you can see more of the lkk duets — and submit your own! — over here.

steve poltz is great! do you guys know him? i saw him play a couple times in the last year and was blown away. i thought to myself, “there’s no way his records are gonna be any good…he’s just one of those guys who puts on a great show and then probably struggles to capture anything magical in the studio.” but – ho! – i was wrong. and guess who produced the record that i was wrong to? well, when mike o’neill and i played in halifax at the carleton he said, “oh, that’s so nice! jewel tweeted about our show” and i was all, “jewel? woah! that’s kind of weird. well, cool!” but lo and behold, it was his weird accent saying “joel” of “joel plaskett”! and that’s who produced steve’s record “dreamhouse” that i’ve been listening to. which is doubly weird because steve used to play with the actual jewel?? to finish off my awesome, totally-easy-to-follow story, here is a tweet from mr plaskett, about ‘colours’… it sure makes you feel good when people whose music you like like yours.

i don’t know what’s up with all these big weird planes going over austin today and yesterday, but i know what’s up with spring and that is that it’s springing…big time. for all of you in and out of season:
