Live from the Belly of a Whale – Countries Shaped Like Stars – Inclement Weather – Storybike – In the Works
The story of Gwendolyn Magnificent and Bartholomew Spectacular starts with demanding dragon fruits and ends with heartache whispered into the ears of birds and constellations. With spoons, water glasses, whirly-winds and a mandolin, they create the sounds and images of a landscape forever altered by regret. Part storytelling, part concert, this is a tale of love heard best through a tin-can telephone

“To miss something as indelible and enchanting and inventive as Countries Shaped Like Stars would have been tragic.” – Alibi Magazine, Albuquerque NM
“Gently unhinges language and logic, so that we can play in the spaces between words and bathe in the emotions that underlie reason. Another way of saying this is that Countries Shaped Like Stars makes you feel as openhearted and happy as a kid.” – Colin Thomas, The Georgia Straight, Vancouver BC
