David Byrne will present his video/audio lecture called Creation in Reverse at Bowery Ballroom in New York City tonight. The piece focuses on the ways that venue and context shape artistic creation. Tonight's presentation is part of the Stories in High Fidelity reading and music series. It will also include storytelling from New York Times columnist Alan Light, the author of The Skills to Pay the Bills: The Story of the Beastie Boys, and Dan Kennedy, author of Rock On: An Office Power Ballad and a regular host of The Moth StorySLAMs in New York City.

As part of the Stories in High Fidelity event, there will be a special music performance by Nicole Atkins and the Brooklyn quintet ECHOecho. Atkins is a featured vocalist on Byrne's forthcoming Todomundo/Nonesuch release, Here Lies Love, which is available for pre-order now in the Nonesuch Store.

    American Railroad, the new album from the Silkroad Ensemble with Rhiannon Giddens, is out now. It is the culmination of four years of research, collaboration, and music-making, having brought Silkroad artists all across the US to uncover and uplift stories of those who built the transcontinental railroad and connecting railways across North America. "The result is a tapestry of stories, traditions, and music that have shaped our multifaceted cultural identity, and that must be heard and recognized," Giddens says. Also out now are a performance video of the track "Mahk Jchi" and the first episode of the American Railroad podcast series. The US fall tour continues to November 23.
