Critically lauded folk songstress Aoife O’Donovan will release Man In A Neon Coat: Live From Cambridge on September 9th via Yep Roc Records.
Recorded live at The Sinclair in Cambridge, Massachusetts on April 13, 2016, the album features live trio performances of tracks from her highly-acclaimed albums, In The Magic Hour and Fossils, as well as covers of Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris classics.
“I’ve been unbelievably lucky to be touring In The Magic Hour with Anthony Da Costa and Steve Nistor,” notes O’Donovan. “They are two of the most talented musicians I’ve ever worked with, and recreating the songs from the studio sessions with such a stripped-down lineup was a super fun challenge. After a few months of touring, we decided that we needed to make a live album. The duet singing, the bass-free ensemble, the creativity of the drum sounds—it needed to be documented. We called in engineer extraordinaire Dave Sinko and he flew up to The Sinclair in Cambridge for a whirlwind night of music making to a packed house. We can’t wait to release these sounds into the world.”
O’Donovan continues her relentless touring and will embark on a 16-city fall tour with Willie Watson on October 13th. Get a sneak peak of what’s to come with “Detour Sign”:
