John Raymond x S. Carey "Shadowlands" ft.

S. Carey (vocals/drums), John Raymond (trumpet/flugelhorn/synth), Romain Collin (piano), Katie Ernst (bass/vocals), David Devine Jr. (guitar)

John Raymond and S. Carey have been playing music together for close to twenty years. Individually their collaborations range from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) to Sufjan Stevens to Bruce Hornsby to many of their own acclaimed album releases.

Their latest result is their new Shadowlands album, a stunning, genre-bending collection of songs that combines the warmth and beauty of Carey’s aesthetic with the improvisational, spontaneous nature of Raymond’s. The music ranges from intimate and meditative to soaring and anthemic, with electric moments of musical interplay throughout. It’s the kind of collaboration that feels as if it were years in the making.

While they both received training in jazz and classical music, their careers would soon head in very different directions. Carey would become the right-hand man to Justin Vernon (aka Bon Iver); collaborate as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer with the likes of Sufjan Stevens, Low, and Bruce Hornsby among others; and release four albums of his own to critical acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, and more.

Raymond, on the other hand, would become a Grammy-nominated trumpeter and composer "steering jazz in the right direction" (Downbeat); release eight albums garnering praise from the New York Times, Stereogum, and others; and teach on faculty at the Jacobs School of Music at Indiana University, one of the most prestigious music conservatories in the world.

In 2019, the two reunited and began experimenting on what their artistic voices would sound like together. Raymond brought in a host of musical ideas, while Carey contributed lyrics and helped shape the ideas into songs. Producer Sun Chung (formerly with ECM Records) came on board shortly after, and together they enlisted a cast of A-list musicians to help flesh out the music including pianist Aaron Parks (Terri Lyne Carrington, Terence Blanchard), bassist Chris Morrissey (Norah Jones, Mark Guiliana), and guitarist Dave Devine (Brian Blade and the Fellowship Band).

This latest exciting result is their new Shadowlands album and upcoming Tour!
