We’re releasing an EP!

For those who have been with us for awhile, you may have noticed that I did not write a Fletch blog regarding Cody and Emmalyn leaving for Alaska for the summer (followed by waxing philosophically about whether the band will continue given how busy everyone is). In line with recent years that blog would have […]

Farewell for Another Season from Danny

At a glance, the trajectory that our band Fletcher Magellan is on doesn’t seem to make sense. Thus far, Fletch has been seasonal. We do as much music-making as we can in the late fall, winter, and early spring, and the rest of the time – while Cody and Emmalyn work in Alaska – we […]

Dusting off the Old Blog with Danny

Given that we’d put in all this hard work, had a slick, well-oiled band we were playing with, and knew our time was limited before Cody headed back up North, we figured that we’d do well to capture a document of what Fletch in Spring of 2016 sounded like.

State of Magellan – Goodbye

State of Magellan December 2015

The album is now 98.6% tracked, and for the last 1.4%, I need your help!

State of Magellan April 2015

We have been traveling/living out of our Prius since Easter Sunday, we’ve been to the Badlands, Wall Drug (5-cent detergent filled death, aka coffee), Bozeman, Montana (land of both cowboys and liberal arts educations), Craters of the Moon, Idaho (holy volcanoes, Batman!), Bend, Oregon (let there be hops, and there were hops), Crater Lake (a lake inside an imploded volcano!!!), and finally here in southern Oregon.
