The “Ubuntu” album turns ten years old today. 2014-2015 was a wild year for us. I wrote this record in parts of Kenya, Uganda, Botswana, South Africa, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Netherlands, Germany, and all across Great Turtle Island during our 2014 Summer Tour (back when we had our veggie bus). Lots of stories w/ this record.
David Lessing recorded the keys in Cincinnati, OH. Dave King recorded bass in Denver, CO and Matthew Pizza recorded the congas and washboard in Salt Lake City, UT. I recorded with Cinch dB at his studio in Lyman, SC and the album was mastered by a guy named Disco Dave in Bellingham, WA.
The album artwork was created by Katie using sticks and stones and beads that she collected from our world travels. Emily King did the graphic design. It takes a village.
Thank you to all the people who bought this album on cd. And thank you to the folks who still request these songs at shows. They’re still some of my favorites to play.
If you wanna give it a ceremonial stream. My top 3 songs from this record are: Migration, Be Brave, and the third one is a hard choice, but I think it’s Be Grateful.
