We’re playing before Billy Bragg in Hamburg in two weeks from today!

It’s an honor to even play on the same night as someone who has carried the torch of folk music as much as him 🔥

I’m going on tour with my full band in two weeks.🚦It’s the last show where we’ll play all the songs from, “American Standards”, an album I recorded before the pandemic, released during the pandemic, and didn’t get to play live much because of the pandemic. I’d really love to share these songs with you after this long bumpy ride! Get tickets here ianfishersongs.com/shows after you check out this list:

May 19 - Haus der Musik - Vienna (A)
May 20 - Bart - Timelkam (A)
May 21 - Milla - Munich (D)
May 22 - Komma - Wörgl (A)
May 27 - Jaki - Cologne (D)

If you’ve ever seen me play live, then you’ve probably heard me perform a song by Woody Guthrie. If I didn’t play one from him, then it wasn’t intentional. Woody deserves a place in every set of mine, because without him none of us folk-singers would even be here. Hell, Bob Dylan basically started out as a Woody Guthrie cover band. That being said, today I shared Guthrie’s “Do Re Mi” in my Fanklub country cover collection. If you wanna hear, then go to fanklub.com/ianfishersongs. The track is a happy-sounding little ditty that follows a Midwestern family (probably from Oklahoma like Guthrie himself), who leave the dusty plains in search of the proverbial greener pastures of California and find that the only thing that was greener on the other side was the color of the dollars that they don’t have. As many of you know, “do” is short for “dough” and “dough” is slang for “money”. I’ve had to think about that a lot lately because I’ve sold so few tickets for the upcoming tour that I might lose more “dough” than a forgetful baker. ;-) So if you’d like to get a ticket for one of the upcoming shows, then go to ianfishersongs.com/shows after you check out this list:

Every month I release an EP to the folks who join my Fanklub (link in bio) 🎁 You can join for as little as €2. It’s easy and it’s cool. Just do it 🤝This month we’re taking a musical trip to Texas with covers of Willie Nelson and Blaze Foley. Here’s a painting by my favorite painter and fellow Missourian, Thomas Hart Benton, and a text about the songs and folks behind them. (at Texas)

This is what I look like now after spending the last half a year working off and on in Modica, Sicily, with my friend/producer @jonasdavidforever at @pausastudiomodica

New music and more Arancini are on the way 🎙🍕🍷🌋 (at Pausa Studio)

Lately it’s been stranger than usual to tell people about good things in the face of what’s happening in Ukraine, the pandemic, and a million other terrible events. I use this platform to share news about my music with all of you though and I hope that brings a little something positive into your day. If I haven’t mentioned it already, the news is that I’m working on a new album. I recorded it in Sicily at @pausastudiomodica with @jonasdavidforever as producer. I’m really happy about it so far. Here’s a picture of Mt. Etna from the plane yesterday on the way to Hamburg to teach songwriting at the Popkurs. I hope you’re all alright. Fuck Putin. (at Mt. Etna Sicily)

Thanks to all the folks who joined the Fanklub this week 🤝 I just released covers of “Thirteen” by Big Star and “Honky Tonk Blues” by Hank Williams on the platform and I’ll be giving a songwriting course to Fanklub members only this Saturday at noon in Vienna 🤠 If you’re interested check out the link in the bio and PM me.
