Episode 507: Devon Léger (Music Journalism and Publicity for Traditional Music)

[upbeat old time music] Welcome to Get Up in the Cool Old Time Music with Cameron DeWitt and friends.

This week's friend is Devin Leger.

We recorded this Friday afternoon at his home in Seattle.

Tall Poppy String Band is in the middle of a Kickstarter campaign for our second album.

We're currently 35% funded with 23 days left, so we're doing well.

Thanks to everyone who heard about it last week and signed up.

Uh, what we would love is to just sort of stay ahead of schedule the whole time, because sometimes there's an anxious slump in the middle.

So pre-order your copy now, and get a T-shirt or a tab book while you're at it.

Follow the link in the show notes, or visit tallpoppystringband.com. I'm playing TransTrad in Olympia, Washington June 5th through 7th with Tradwife, my old time drag act, and Sweeten the Third, my new banjo and flatfooting duo with Afton Combs.

Hope to see you there.

And if you're in Portland the night before, Sweeten the Third is playing Abby Wisenbloom's series, so come on out.

I put links in the show notes.

One more thing before we get started, uh, content warning for this interview.

There is a brief mention of domestic violence.

Stick around afterwards to hear how to keep up with this week's guest, but first, here's my interview and jam with Devin Leger.

Enjoy.
