Shaffer Devin - Patience

Fakten On Patience, Devin Shaffer leads a group of sensitive instrumentalists through a stirring, hushed collection of folk songs. After finding a Martin guitar on the sidewalk with a note that said, “This is for you," Shaffer began writing a series of whispered folk songs from her bed that mark her move from Chicago to NYC. First, Shaffer tracked vocals and guitar in Chicago with Michael Macdonald (The Slaps, Tenci, Mia Joy, Tasha). Then, she arranged contributions from Lucy Liyou on piano, Sarah Galdes (L’Rain, Bartees Strange) on drums, Marilu Donovan (LEYA) on harp, and Mari Rubio (More Eaze) on pedal steel. The results update the intimacy of songwriters like Vashti Bunyan, Sibylle Baier, and Linda Perhacs for the twenty-first century.
