How is it possible that we are already into week #

How is it possible that we are already into week #4 of the @globalmusicmatch Music? This week's featured artist is @lucywardsings (Lucy Ward), an award winning singer songwriter from Derby, England.

One of the youngest people to ever be nominated for BBC Radio 2's coveted 'Folk Singer of the Year' award (2014), Ward's songs are a sweet mixture of evocative imagery and quiet, involving beauty, passion, protest and tradition all rolled into one.

Not only that, she's also in my opinion our team's unofficial captain and basically the kindest person you could ever hope to meet!

I'm so excited to share more about her as the week goes on, but in the meantime, be sure to check out her music!

Another Wednesday means another installment of 'Polite Conversations with Adyn Townes' as part of the @globalmusicmatch!

This week's featured artist is @cgs_canzoniere , Italy's longest standing traditional music ensemble! I had a chance to chat with Mauro Durante and Alessia Tondo to talk about the band's origin, their songwriting process, and the ancient ritual of pizzica tarantata! Plus, they teach me how to make an @aperolspritzofficial and translate Canadian slangs into beautiful Italian phrases.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Link to the full interview in my bio!

Time is flying by! Hard to believe that we are already in week #3 of the @globalmusicmatch!

This week's featured artist hails from Salento, the heel of the Italian boot in Puglia. Formed in 1975, @cgs_canzoniere is Italy's longest-standing traditional music ensemble.

The 7-piece band and dancer are the leading exponents in a new wave of young performers re-inventing Southern Italy’s Pizzica musical and dance traditions for today’s global audience. With 19 albums to their credit and electrifying shows filled with the energy of the ancient ritual of pizzica tarantata, it is my pleasure to introduce them to all of you!

I'll be posting more about them throughout the week, but in the meantime, be sure to listen online! I have no doubt that you will be hooked on their unique sound, which is truly unlike anything I have ever heard before! #GlobalMusicMatch

It's finally here! The second installment of 'Polite Conversations with Adyn Townes' (as part of the @globalmusicmatch) features Australian country gem and fellow Team 1 member @fannylumsden!

Fanny's insight into songwriting as a 'passionately DIY' artist is intriguing, and her committment to bringing music to small communities in Australia is inspiring!

Tune in to hear us chat about everything from how she got started in music, to tigers flying airplanes, to our shared love of peeing in the ocean. Plus, she is wearing dog earings which already makes this interview basically as good as it gets!

Watch the full interview on my Facebook page (Link in Bio) and be sure to share Fanny's music with your friends! #globalmusic match #week2 #australia #interview #featuredartist #politeconversations

My interview with the one and only @fannylumsden will be posted tomorrow as part of Week #2 in the @globalmusicmatch. 🇦🇺For now, here's a quick video to help you get to know her better!

And seriously, if you haven't had a chance to listen to her music yet, do yourself a favour and add it to your playlists! I think fans of @kittythefool, @rosecousins and @hannahgeorgas will especially enjoy!

The list of places I'd like to go has been growing ✈️ It's been incredible connecting with artists all over the world and learning about where they call home. Last week's addition was Iceland. This week? Australia. @svavarknutur @fannylumsden

I had the absolute pleasure of connecting with the incredible @svavarknutur this week through the @globalmusicmatch initiative. I wanted to close off week #1 by covering his beautiful song, ‘Emotional Anorexic’.

Cutting down this interview from almost 2 hours to

Cutting down this interview from almost 2 hours to just over 33 minutes was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Not because of the work required, but because of the fact that every word @svavarknutur says has such meaning and purpose that it's hard to skip over anything.

Thanks to the @globalmusicmatch for giving us the opportunity to connect on what I'm sure will be the first of many long, heartfelt conversations about life, music, songwriting, love, trains, Icelandic and Canadian history, the state of the world and so, so much more.

I hope you all enjoy this interview as much as I did. Link to full video in my bio! #globalmusicmatch

@globalmusicmatch has officially kicked off and I'm so excited to introduce all of you to this week's featured artist, @svavarknutur.

A native of the rugged north of Iceland, Svavar is a troubadour and storyteller who has dedicated his life to exploring the human condition through the lens of his country's sometimes dark and often tragic history. Inspired by artists such as Nick Drake, Will Oldham (Bonnie Prince Billy), Kris Kristofferson, Leonard Cohen, and Joni Mitchell, Svavar's music is in his own words 'flawed music for flawed people.'

I got a chance to chat with this absolute gem of a human being last week, and had it not been for time constraints, I honestly feel like we would still be on our Zoom call. I know you are going to LOVE him and his music, and I'm so thankful to #GlobalMusicMatch for allowing us to cross paths.

Lots more to come about him throughout the rest of the week, but for now, here's is a video that I feel best encapsulates who he is as a person, and as an artist.

How much fun is this going to be?! @globalmusicmat

'Leave It Alone' is about the moment you close you

'Leave It Alone' is about the moment you close your eyes to sleep but your mind won't quiet down. Instead of finding comfort in the silence, the noise of new ideas, questions, regrets, worries and countless other thoughts gets too loud, resulting in ringing ears and long nights.
This song was beautifully expressed by @itsmirandachan and I'm grateful to have a visual reflection of this feeling. <<LINK IN BIO>>
