It was nice to find that my song Bring in the Water, from my first album, The Tree People, was a favorite of artist Jessica Jackson Hutchins on the KCRW Guest DJ Project:
Portland-based artist Jessica Jackson Hutchins specializes in mixed-media sculpture – transforming household objects into creations that speak to the chaos of domestic life. She strives to transfer the feeling of music she loves into her work. Hear some of her obscure and intriguing favorites:
The last one is called “Bring in the Water,” the band is called 3 Hand Stephen and the album is called The Tree People. It’s a trio from Eugene, Oregon. I know the lead singer is named Stephen Cohen and I first heard this record, I guess right before I had my first kid at home, Lottie.
I played this record all the time right after she was born so it’s kind of a nostalgic sounding record anyway -- these folk songs from Eugene you can practically hear the rainy days, I think -- but it has this extra layer for me. We have this apricot tree and it was in this, you know, full bloom of pink blossoms like it’s never been before or since and I would listen to this album and bounce Lottie around.
