The first stop on the new tour to support Black Prairie‘s best album yet. A Tear in the Eye Is a Wound in the Heart – Black Prairie is a wonderful collection of songs that are both beautiful and intricate. The melody of Nowhere, Massachusetts has been stuck in my head for days.

The band began when The Decemberists’ Chris Funk (dobro) and Nate Query (bass) had some time off from touring and decided to put together a side project. Other members of the band include The Decemberists’ accordion player Jenny Conlee, singer and violinist Annalisa Tornfelt of Bearfoot and The Woolwines, and guitarist Jon Neufeld of Dolorean and Jackstraw.

I was so taken with the band and the music I just about forgot to take some photos! This was a quick snap with Hipstamatic.
