The acclaimed trio Mountain Man, whose first album in eight years, Magic Ship, was released on Nonesuch Records (on Bella Union in Europe) in September, launches its first tour in six years with a performance at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue in Washington, DC, tonight. The month-long tour continues with shows in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Cambridge, Ann Arbor, Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, Denver, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, culminating at the Haw River Ballroom in Saxaphaw, North Carolina, on November 18. See below for details and tickets; for all the latest, visit nonesuch.com/on-tour.

Magic Ship, Mountain Man's first album first for Nonesuch, includes eleven original songs written by the trio—Amelia Meath, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig, and Molly Sarlé—as well as interpretations of Ted Lucas' "Baby Where You Are," Michael Hurley's "Blue Mountain," and the traditional hymn "Bright Morning Stars." To pick up a copy, head to your local independent record store, iTunes, Amazon, the Mountain Man Store, and the Nonesuch Store. Nonesuch Store bundle options include an exclusive tote bag. Magic Ship can also be heard on Spotify and Apple Music.

The songs on Magic Ship distill eight years of experience since their 2010 debut album, Made the Harbor, of sights seen, pleasures had, feelings hurt, forgiveness extended. The New York Times describes them as "intimate, close-harmony songs that tap into an ageless essence of traditional ballads and lullabies as they contemplate companionship, family, love and death." "Mountain Man share that rare, innate gift of almost supernatural harmonizing," says NPR. "Hauntingly beautiful."

    The Library of Congress has acquired the collection of manuscripts, instruments, costumes, video and audio recordings, and more from Kronos Quartet and its non-profit organization, Kronos Performing Arts Association. “It’s gratifying to know that Kronos’ legacy will be preserved in perpetuity alongside the manuscripts and other treasures of so many other influential musicians from the US and around the world," said KPAA Executive Director Janet Cowperthwaite. "We are perhaps even more excited to reflect upon all the musicians and scholars who will have access to these materials in years to come, informing their own work and carrying Kronos’ inspiration and influence into the future.” The Library also appointed Kronos founder, artistic director, and violinist David Harrington as the Kluge Chair in Modern Culture and inducted Kronos’ 1992 album Pieces of Africa into the National Recording Registry.
