The 2018 Loma tour (featuring me, Emily Lee, Emily Cross, Dan Duszynski, and Matt Schuessler) is about to hit the east coast of the US and Canada, starting in Atlanta and ending in Chicago.
We’ve just finished an epic journey across the west coast, and if you’re thinking about coming to one of these shows, you won’t regret it…playing with these musicians has been one of the most rewarding musical experiences of my life. The show is (60%) quiet and meditative, but also intense and hypnotic—and people who’ve seen it have told me they’ve never seen us look so joyful. I believe them.
Hope to see you out there. See dates.

So I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of online solo shows—soon—but I don't want to play for my phone in a closet. I'll be tinkering with ideas for the next cpl weeks. But in the meantime: REQUESTS, PLEASE! (JM)
the entire animal joy album wrecks me but "animal life" was legit my personal theme for a couple of years soooo that one plz
Rooks, The Snow Leopard, Castaways, Century Eyes, Black Eyes, Breaking The Yearlings, Uniforms, Animal Life.... Greetings from Bolivia!!
“Rooks”! Or “I Was a Cloud” or “The Snow Leopard” or really all off “Rook.” Or “Breaking the Yearlings” or “Dread Sovereign.”
Mountain laurel, believing makes it easy, pushing the river, backchannels, rooks... Eff it, just play ALL THE THINGS! 😂
Home Life, Backchannels, Believing Makes it Easy, Red Sea Black Sea... perhaps Hidden Lakes too. Any of these would make me cry in a burst of Stendhal sydrome, I believe 😍
We once talked after one of your solo shows in Brooklyn, and I said I’d hoped you’d play “Insolence,” and you said you had no idea how that would work solo. Any chance you’d want to take another swing at it, pretty please?
Castaways by you. Acts of Man, Brimstone, or anything by Frightened Rabbit please and thank you.
Honestly, anything and everything, JM. Johnny Viola would be neat. And, on a Patreon note, I keep thinking you’d make a magical version of “Paris 1919.” Still holding out hope for a Santa Fe show when this is over, and I’ll do whatever I can to make it happen. ❤️
Wow. Definitely Insolence and Backchannels. And maybe a "cover" of Loma's Joy?
“Rooks” because it reminds me of what’s happening right now, but weirdly brings me comfort
Just repeat that acoustic set you did years back at Old Style in Silverlake. That was so rad. 👍👍👍
Star of the Age, Rooks, North Col, My Only Boy, Backchannels God Made Me, Believing Makes It Easy
Something from Buteo Buteo! (I’ve been playing a lot of the game Wingspan recently. Saw the old buzzard in the expansion.)
Leviathan, Bound Pale Kings Backchannels (warm and nacreous, baby!) Animal Life Quiet Americans Plus, everything Joann Wargo Trainor has, because she is awesome!
The Snow Leopard is perhaps my favorite song.
Far out yes! Whipping Boy pretty please!
Mountain Laurel, I Can't Wait, The World In 1984, Wedding Bells are Breaking Up That Old Gang of Mine
Unharmed from Buteo Buteo, Alemayehu, Special Rider Blues ✌️ Thanks JM
The «Animal Joy» album in full 🙏
That’s a great idea, JM! My request would be: La Dame et La Licorne
Anything from “Winged Life” or “Thieves” please!!!
oooooh, would love to hear Leviathan Bound!! And I'll echo the request I see for Lost Coastlines
I love Hidden Lakes. 💕
You knew I would say this but... Insular Life
Animal Life - the song that got me started on you years back.
Two years ago, Loma the band spent 3 days making the soundtrack for this beautiful short film. It's never been publicly available, however, until now. You can watch it at the link below for free. (JM)

SHIVANI immerses us in Dolly’s life at the archery academy, where her parents’ devotion is as clear as the pressure she faces to honor the memory of their son.I protest. Birds do much more than flap and squawk. (JM)
