Next weekend, Ryan and I will perform a row of shows in Berlin, Erfurt, and Vienna. I’m looking forward to spending time with that old friend of mine. We’ve been making music together for well over a decade now. This is a picture from the 2012 recording session in my cabin in Missouri for the Ian Fisher & The Present album. Not a lot has changed… just a little less hair on our heads and a few more songs up the sleeves.

This is a picture from a concert that happened about 5 minutes before the world closed for covid. I was with my friends from the @touroftours at our last concert in Erfurt at Franz Mehlhose. It’s such a good memory! There were times over the last couple years that I doubted I’d play there again or even tour again in general, so the thought of playing there and a few other special places next week makes me really happy!

Earlier this year I released an album that was almost entirely written in and about Nashville, Tennessee. I’m happy to announce that next week I will play those songs for the first time in their home city! 🤠 It’ll be a little showcase set for Americanafest at Dee’s Lounge at 3pm on Wednesday the 22nd. Bring your mask and a vaccination card or negative test results. #americanafest #deeslounge #misfittoysgrp #nashville (at Dee’s Lounge)

I was recently asked by Angelika Hager to perform at the Thermalbad Vöslau in an adaptation of Mathieu Nicolas’ novel “Rose Royal”. I had played there before and loved it, so I happily said “yes”. Bad Vöslau is like a time machine. A perfect pool of sparkling water clean enough to drink surrounded by old Viennese architecture, Schönbrunn yellow walls and lime green metal roofs, under tall trees swaying in the warm breeze. I wanted to do something special for such a special place, so instead of just playing a bunch of my old songs, I decided to write some new material for the reading. It’s one and only performance was two months ago together with the talented Manuel Rubey and Martina Ebm. It was a real pleasure getting to know those two and sharing the stage with them! If you’re one of my patreon supporters or would like to become one, then you can hear those tracks now by going to www.patreon.com/ianfishersongs Thanks to everyone who inspired me to write them! #roseroyal (at Thermalbad Vöslau)

Thanks to everyone who came to the shows over the last weeks and to @thermalbad_voeslau @manuelrubey and @ebmmartina for the fun performance last weekend. @brauton.bier and @assim_records are going to share a live session with me on Thursday. Keep an eye out for it. I really like it! It’s a new song for my mom. After that little release, I’m gonna take a summer break from social media.

The band and I are coming to Freiburg I.B. for the Ins Weite Festival!!! My Badisch ancestors would be proud. 😉

I drew this little postcard poster for our band tour. If anyone wants it, then I’ll mail it to the first person who gets a vinyl, cd, or book on my Webshop 👍

We’re taking the band to Munich! 🥨🍻

After a year and a half of covid delays, we’ve finally rescheduled our concert for July 25th outside at the Institut Français! If you had tickets for the Milla show, then they will be automatically transferred to the new date and location unless you decide otherwise. If you don’t have tickets yet, then you can get them at Milla-club.reservix.de. I just checked their site and was happy to see that some old Viennese friends are gonna be there soon too! There’s a lot of good music coming to town 🎶
