Tune Tuesday.


Today is calling for a soft, serene mix of tunes. Naturally, I mean the day is yearning for Sufjan Stevens. Sufjan hasn't made a new cd with vocals for a few years now, but for some odd reason, his music never gets old. I am a sucker for the banjo, which he plays along with 30 other instruments. Recently, he has helped other artists come into the spotlight. The young pastor Reverend Thomas Aiuto and his wife Monique have worked with Sufjan, converting their folksy worship music into a fresh, even lighter version of what Sufjan might sing. The couple's band is the Welcome Wagon and they are due to have two shows in the spring. All of them are completely unconventional and I would swim across Lake Michigan to see any one of them.
