Yesterday I had the absolute pleasure of guiding a tour of around 10 both kids and adults around the Indigenous and Colonial sites of uptown Kingston NY! A local educator reached out asking if my friend Federico could do a pre Thanksgiving tour and history lesson focusing on Native American culture and history in the area. He thoughtfully passed it on to me knowing I love this subject. We met at the shop first for hot Cacao drinks and chocolate then did a walking tour discussing Leni Lenape farming practices, the Esopus Wars, the Stockade, and ending at a mural of the three sisters recently painted by indigenous artist Shawnee Miller. Everyone had a great time and I was very grateful for this opportunity to share knowledge on a subject I'm passionate about!

Taken last week: Saturday, August 13, 2022
amandapalmer and gracieandrachel at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY for a benefit show for opositivefest.
The first few images are from soundcheck, then backstage during the show, and a rehearsal earlier in the day at Amanda’s house.
The first image is me broadcasting Amanda on her IG live via my iPhone.
All images are made with my DSLR except the photos of Amanda with my computer backstage and me with my computer side of stage - those were taken with my iPhone.
We raised thousands of dollars to benefit O+ to raise money to offer health care for musicians. Their slogan is quite clever, “Apply pressure and elevate.”
I attended the show as “Stream master” helping to get everything together to broadcast the show live online (and now the recording is on demand via Amanda’s Crowdcast archive) courtesy of Amanda’s patrons.
The last time I helped with a broadcast like this was in London 2019. It felt good to be back in familiar waters, doing a thing I do well, for and with people I know so well, and all to benefit such a worthy organization.
While working the show itself felt like fitting a hand into a well worn glove, the last week thereafter has been quite a bumpy road.

a lot of people assume songwriters write about their own lives but this one is pure imagination 🙂 this song “music box” is about two people in love who are separated by distance and one of them walking into an antique store in finding a music box with two figures dancing that reminds them of their love. it’s also about that feeling of being made for someone, the way a porcelain doll is literally made to fit another one.
this is a preview of the final version coming out when the record is done. it was recorded by my friend and the best percussionist in the world quintanamanuel in his studio #beetrecordingstudio in #catskill i co-wrote this song with my friend nyc_pj who is one of the best songwriters i know, and features ruverberate on keys and music boxes 😉 quintanamanuel on percussion, production and engineering, yonimarianer on upright bass, and me on guitar and vocals.
this video drawing was inspired by kingston.ny and the facades of the historic uptown kingston buildings. the wine store on the left of the animation might remind you of esterwine on front street and the antique store kingston_consignments 🎶🎁

Checked out the opositivefest yesterday with my girls. New York State knows how to party! In my experience living in several other states, this community goes harder for festivals and fun than anywhere else. Not only does this provide the opportunity to get to know your neighbors, but also gets you out of the house when the weather starts to cool down. The O+ festival runs through the rest of the weekend, go check it out.

It’s that time of the year ✨✨✨ The opositivefest is descending upon Kingston, and we are honored and elated to be a part of it, spreading a little healing vibe as we journey to Somewhere.

Bring a blanket, chair, friends, family, stay for as long or short as you desire. Saturday, October 8th from 3-4pm on the lawn of the old_dutch_church_kingston ✨✨✨ #gongbath #soundbath #opositivefest #opositive #reiki #vocaltrance #meditation #healing #deeprelaxation #cosmictransportation

Who is that? With themercuryrev in 1994 I am told. Somewhere in Spain. First time I’ve ever posted a pic of me. I do this because Mercury Rev is playing opositivefest this weekend. All of the artists, bands, performers you will see get healthcare and wellness services in exchange. It’s rad I know. So come to Kingston. Experience the magic. See 40 bands 35 artists and so much more. This post will self destruct after Oct. 10. #opositivefest #art #music #healthcare #oldschool #comeout #rockon bamiam
Amanda Palmer & guests at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston NY last night. Proud to be part of the Arcane Video crew that filmed her first concert in years and streamed it as a benefit for opositivefest. A powerful and emotionally affecting show with gracieandrachel, wu.woman, fathernathan and mrchriswells. Also very happy to connect with amandapalmer personally in our shared love and admiration for New Zealand musician Peter Jefferies. Thank you griefk of arcanevideo for the opportunity and for running the stream - excellent work, my friend.
