Shovel Dance Collective @Nová Libeňská Synagoga, Prague, & silent green Kuppelhalle, Berlin, 13&14 April

Beautiful instrumental drones, beautiful and epic folk singing, cute and friendly stage presence, and a political edge (not that their general work isn’t deeply political lol) that feels genuine and vulnerable and like they are willing to take some genuine risks. Like most of us should. But if you have the time and luxury to do something seemingly not very risky (tho who is saying that truly facing art doesn’t demand taking risks, at least on your insides?), do make it out to Krems on 10 May to see them and other experimental and heavy and wonderful English and Welsh and Irish folk artists live! (Donaufestival!)
