I will be opening both of thee shows.
My brilliantly talented friend, Amanda Palmer is coming back to Poland, this time with the mothership of her original band, with Brian Viglione on the drums.
This duo changed my musical life long before I met Amanda. I’ll never forget listening to “Dirty Business” for the first time on myspaces (yes, I am myspace years old and then some). Especially the album “Yes, Virginia…” – the greater was my joy when they announced the new version of this very record, pulling what we now can safely call a Taylor Swift, and reclaiming the songs from an ancient record deal that no longer served anyone. (sidenote – Suzanne Vega actually pulled something of a Taylor Swift long before that. But that’s a bit of a different story).
Hence “Yes, Virginia… Tailor’s Version” – a version tailor made for 2026.
I embroidered the band name and title for the new album. I made many versions (this is a sample), testing stitch types, colours, and thread weight. The biggest challenge was producing adequate photos of the artwork (one learns new skills all the time). They were later skillfully modified and incorporated into the magnificent artwork by Nikki McQueen ( https://www.instagram.com/nikimcqueenart/ ).
The final artwork:
Please get your tickets. We’re going to have so much fun (a little bird told me there will be a local choir involved, and some extra backup singing…)
