Present collaborations:

• The band Mouth of Mossy Shore (formerly Miners) explores traditional folk music from the United States as a vehicle for improvisation and sonic experimentation. Based in Western Massachusetts, the group is made up of Lynn Storm (voice), Jesse Bay (voice, guitar, percussion, electronics), Myk Freedman (lap steel), and a fluid ensemble of other musicians. Stay tuned for their first album, which will be released November of 2025.
