New Album: In This Day (trombone loops)
This is a series of improvisations using a trombone and a loop pedal. Each track is a first-take performance -- a sort of meditation unto itself. In this day of multi-tracked and digitally manipulated music, I find it liberating to pick up an instrument, hit record, and just see what happens. I plan to continue doing this as often as possible over the foreseeable future and posting my favorites here, warts and all. Thanks for listening!

"Sequence" video
I made this video for "Sequence" using footage taken while on tour in Europe with The National this past summer. The front lounge of a double-decker tour bus is a thrilling place to hang out!
On tour with THE NATIONAL
I'm thrilled to be on tour with The National this summer and fall! On the agenda are many festivals throughout Europe, The Hollywood Bowl, an Asian/Australian tour, and a US run culminating in several shows at the Beacon Theater this December. Check out americanmary.com/tour for a full schedule and ticket information.
