“We’ve been putting up one mic in backstages and hotel rooms on tour for the past year and improvising on high string and acoustic guitars. The idea has been to have no plan and simply play off each other like we did when we were kids. And Aaron sang on one song. Red Bird Hollow is the creek behind our childhood home in Cincinnati, Ohio where we used to play. The image below of twin watercolors, similar but different, is by our sister Jessica. Here are 3 songs to start and we will keep posting them over the year.” – Bryce Dessner (Backstage, Southeast, US – 16 May 2018)
