It was a delight to be the emcee of the 42nd annual Ann Arbor Folk Festival, and I felt deeply honored to see, from that angle, how far-reaching an institution is @the_ark_ann_arbor. I cannot wait to tread the boards there in April and I’m delighted to be bringing young friends along to further the community: @sistastrings will open the show and will be my band for the evening. Come on out and say hi, everybody!
Peter will be hitting the road with his Milwaukee buds @sistastrings for a string of dates next month. They’ll accompany Peter onstage as his band and open these shows (except for SPACE, as that’s an early show with no opener). A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Tickets available at petermulvey.com.
Thanks BY W. S. MERWIN Listen with the night falling we are saying thank you we are stopping on the bridges to bow from the railings we are running out of the glass rooms with our mouths full of food to look at the sky and say thank you we are standing by the water thanking it standing by the windows looking out in our directions back from a series of hospitals back from a mugging after funerals we are saying thank you after the news of the dead whether or not we knew them we are saying thank you over telephones we are saying thank you in doorways and in the backs of cars and in elevators remembering wars and the police at the door and the beatings on stairs we are saying thank you in the banks we are saying thank you in the faces of the officials and the rich and of all who will never change we go on saying thank you thank you with the animals dying around us taking our feelings we are saying thank you with the forests falling faster than the minutes of our lives we are saying thank you with the words going out like cells of a brain with the cities growing over us we are saying thank you faster and faster with nobody listening we are saying thank you thank you we are saying and waving dark though it is
“There Is Another World” is a month into its release. What that means, from my perspective, is that I’m playing shows, night after night, just like I did before, but now those shows have made room for this strange, vivid, terse collection of songs, scattered among all the older songs. Record releases, for me, resemble changes in an ecosystem. A few extra yards of swamp here, a new tree there. I’ll be in the Northeast for the next two weeks if you want to see the show as it is now. Tickets and tour details at Peter Mulvey dot com. Thanks for giving me a job.
Ola my Midwest people: @carsieblanton and I have played music together in the field of honor many times. She’s bringing the love to the people. Her new record is called “Buck Up” and her live show is a balm. Check her out!

“There is no greater misfortune than to prepare to have an enemy.” —Lao Tzu. Well... this is the wall. I’ve been here before, maybe eight or ten years ago. It was here then. I was sad for the people on both sides then. I’m sad for us now. I came here to remind myself: I want this wall taken down. I hope my life and my work amount to some tiny contribution to seeing that done. And I’ll work to take down my own walls, too. I wish us all well. Good luck, everyone.
