Darwin Song Project 'Mother of Mysteries' - Mark Erelli & Karine Polwart

Darwin Song Project Concert
Shrewsbury, March 19th 2009

Mother of Mysteries
written by Mark Erelli & Karine Polwart
performed by Mark Erelli & Karine Polwart

In March 2009 eight folk singer/songwriters gathered together for a week long songwriting residential in rural Shropshire to create songs that had a relevance and resonance with Charles Darwin.

The eight artists were Chris Wood, Karine Polwart, Stu Hanna, Rachael McShane, Krista Detor, Emily Smith, Mark Erelli and Jez Lowe.

The whole concert was recorded for an upcoming CD release (July 2009), and the 8 musicians will reconvene at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival in August, to once again perform the 19 songs that were written during the week.

God, Mark Erelli is so good. I wish I was wealthy. I'd have him come sing on Fridays for beer with some friends. :-) Good stuff.

"there is grandure in this view of life" finally someone worked this beautiful quote into a song. GREAT JOB! Darwin would be proud :)

I have been working on a song regarding evolution for a year now, and i just can't do it justice. I really appreciate what you have done here.

Now that the Shrewsbury Folk Fest (Live Streaming) is coming to a close, I'm sure you're get many more fans. As I am one now.

What a great concept and a very good song....takes (a CAT..holic) one to know one to understand the song.
