We will be playing one of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts tomorrow, October 16th, at 4:30PM. This means that we’ll be huddled around Bob Boilen’s desk, playing a few acoustic versions of songs from Rook. It’s good to be on the road in America again, especially since this probably marks the end of this year’s major touring in the USA. The fall colors are beautiful here in the northeast. UPDATED: NPR has this performance archived here.
Available for preorder now at your friendly local record shop, on your favorite internet music service, and/or at our Bandcamp page.
Dear Friends,
Here’s a small, happy bit of news: last week, with help from @stevefallone and the great folks at @sterlingsound, we finally mastered our upcoming album, The New World. We’re eager to let it out in the world next year…and a little relieved to stop listening so closely after many months of work.
A companion album is also nearly done. but that’ll have to wait until I return from Antarctica, where I’m heading now for book research. (If you like, you can follow my journey here: [follow-polarstern.awi.de/].)
All of us at Shearwater HQ wish you a peaceful holiday with people you care about—or on your own, if you prefer—in this ridiculous time.

TL;DR - Bandcamp Friday stocking stuffer discount bundles!!
Dear Friends,
We hope these dark days are nevertheless treating you well, and that you have at least a bit of rest in store before the joys and horrors of 2026 lurch into gear. (As for us, we’re about to master a new album, and hope/expect that later next year we’ll finally return to live performing).
Since it’s Bandcamp Friday, but we don’t have anything new for you yet... for today only, we’re discounting a few of our favorite bundles: both collections of Quarantine Music, Live Albums 2008-2016, and our bundle of piano sheet music. Plus, we’re reducing our Bowie’s Berlin Trilogy Tote Bags from $10 to $5.
We hear music downloads make a great stocking stuffer.
In the meantime, all of us at team SW send the very best to you and yours this month—and we look forward to sharing new music with you soon.

Dear friends - I’ve just learned that a scam has been reaching out to other indiegogo users & patrons, claiming to be me, offering to ‘help’ with their campaign—and using this phony email: contact.jonathanmeiburg@gmail.com.
But no matter what email they use, if you receive a message like this, please know this is not real.
In happier news, we’ve just set a mastering date for The New World. (JM)
