Dear Friends,
Today is a big day, and I've got news to share! The Otherlands:ONE record is out and streaming everywhere. It's a selection of 13 tracks documenting my musical explorations through 6 countries in 9 months and features 21 amazing musicians.
From Spain to Ireland to Scotland to India to Japan, and finally to Finland, you'll hear zanfona, bouzouki, uilleann pipes, dotara, ektara, shakuhachi, shamisen, fantastic voices in multiple languages, and of course, a few fiddles. LISTEN ↴
FILMS, STORIES, & PHOTOS
Want to know more about the collaborations? Please visit the Liner Notes, where you can find a video and stories for each track, as well as all the people and places that helped make this dream real.
Otherlands:ONE is part of a larger global collaboration project that features even more musicians in a 25-episode short film series. Discover Here at the choose-your-own-adventure website.
EVENTS
There are two upcoming events I'd like to share:
Feature on NPR Weekend Edition Sunday • Sunday, Apr. 25
Facebook Live Chat/Q&A • Sunday, Apr. 25 @ 3p EDT
I'd love for you to join me for a chat about music and travel. Find me at the page above and feel free to bring some questions.
WORKSHOPS
Finally, to celebrate the record release, I've created a series of workshops. For the next 6 months, I'll focus one workshop per month on each country, sharing melodies, rhythms, and concepts learned along the way. I'm offering a $50 discount for the full set of 6, but they're also available individually.
I'm so excited to share these great artists and people with you, and I hope you feel like sharing them with someone else. Stay tuned for more Otherlands goodies and events to come, and please follow on IG and FB for the most up to date news.
Wishing you health and thanks for listening,
Casey
