Anyone who hasn’t crossed paths with Saskatchewan singer-songwriter Andy Shauf‘s latest record, The Bearer of Bad News, should get a fine introduction in this performance clip from Brock Mitchell’s Shot at the Dark series. Watch Shauf sing the album’s centerpiece, an 8-minute ballad called “Wendell Walker,” alone in the snowbound foothills of the Canadian Rockies below. For a taste of the LP’s studio/home recordings, hear “I’m Not Falling Asleep” above (via Sixeyes).
