Pickathon Slab Sessions, Episode 4: Kevin Morby

Pickathon will be announcing the first part of its 2016 lineup at a special party at Revolution Hall on Monday, January 18, but if you can’t wait that long, we’ve got another special Slab Session for you. Continuing our exclusive series of videos you can’t see anywhere else, here’s Kevin Morby performing at the Pickathon Slab during 2015’s festival, well isolated from the noise and crowds of the main stages. Morby’s performing “If You Leave and If You Marry,” one of the many highlights from his superb 2013 album Harlem River.

It’s a gently rambling but slightly caustic song in the folk tradition, with Morby, an acoustic guitar, and the summertime setting providing a real mood. Half Stop Sessions was there to capture this great video, and New Belgium Brewing made it possible. When you’re done with this, check out past episodes of the Slab Sessions, including Grandparents, Wand, and the Weather Station.
