“The Painted Lady ft. Kishi Bashi,” the lead single on the upcoming 2026 Emancipator album “Chrysalis,” was released July 26, 2026. I play fiddle and mandocaster on the song. It’s the 6th Emancipator album and 14th song I’ve contributed to, and maybe my all-time favorite of the songs I’ve worked with Emancipator on.
I think great songs synthesize diverse cultures, and for me, the improv-composed, Irish-influenced fiddle and modal mandocaster on this song bring a lot up for me — and mad props to Emancipator and Kishi Bashi for their work! You can find the song on Bandcamp, Spotify, Soundcloud, Apple Music and other music artist/streaming platforms near you.
If you’re an artist/producer looking for some fierce stringz on a track, please reach out to me!
