#7: Great Lake Swimmers

The Toronto-based quintet began as a vehicle for Tony Dekker's softly sung and sweetly rendered songs and grew into a formidable, intuitive folk outfit. The band plays an acoustic set of three songs from its latest, A Forest of Arms, and Dekker expands on the band's relationship to its physical environment, both in and out of the studio. Songs performed are "Something Like a Storm," "Don't Leave Me Hanging" and "Zero in the City." Recorded on June 21, 2015 at KDHX in St. Louis, Missouri. Engineered by Andy Coco.
