So excited to see everyone joining the Bluesky community! Thanks again to @jay.bsky.team for inviting me to join the party here, and for being such a champion of the arts.
Excited to welcome @mpintomadigan.bsky.social, a singer-songwriter with an ethereal voice whose Ballad of Tam Lin I have had on repeat for the past few months.

The whole album is a modern re-envisioning of a medieval ballad. This might be my favorite track

Hey, somehow I’m nominated for Americana Act of the Year in the New England Music Awards, and if anyone feels like voting, here’s the link: nemusicawards.com/vote/ #americana #livemusic #newengland
Sometimes I play piano. 🙃 My song, “Summer Lament.”
I want tan and salted skin,
Sundresses worn thin, clothes that smell of him.
I don’t want to be alone —
The ghost of his cologne still haunts my collarbone.

Also, if you're interested in the subject of fiction inspired by traditional fairy lore & ballads: @profrmaslen.bsky.social, @ngjeannette.bsky.social, @ellenkushner.bsky.social and I did a talk about this at the British Library a while back, with music from Sam Lee. youtu.be/pF_mr0ETyQA?...

And maybe off topic for Tam Lin, although it relates to retellings + certainly my own novel retelling of the ballad, but @terriwindling.bsky.social, I read The Wood Wife as a teen and remember being so enchanted with the idea of America having its own unique faerylore. It was a game changer.
Your “Thomas the Rhymer” has always been one of my favorites! ❤️
As a writer coming from a trad. folk music background, I loved hearing you speak about faerie and ballads @ellenkushner.bsky.social, and the performance at the end was wonderful.
For all my fellow Tam Lin junkies. ❤️ 🥀🎶
Rachel Ayers highlights six of the many fine retellings of the fairy ballad Tam Lin. I was honoured to publish @pameladean.bsky.social's extraordinary Tam Lin in the Fairy Tale Series (Tor Books), and I'm delighted to see it listed as one of the greats. It truly is. reactormag.com/a-knight-to-...
