We traveled all over Ireland, England, Germany, and The Netherlands, playing shows in old pubs, art spaces, hostels, and public squares. We got to see old friends and make tons of new ones! We lived out of our backpacks for a whole month, counting the week we were back in NYC after the tour. Woah, baby! I thought we were already pretty minimalist, living vanlife as we do, but we learned we can get by with very very little. The memories we made will last a lifetime.</span></p>

In an excerpt from the review Siess says, "As somebody who doesn’t listen to much indie music, I listened to Fort Vine’s album several times to get a sense of who they are. And I can totally say I thoroughly enjoyed going on their musical journey." He also fell in love with Nyna's beautiful voice. "Listening to Fort Vine’s debut album entitled One in the Same, and checking out their stuff online, I came to the conclusion that Nyna Nelson needs to do way more songs. Nelson is beautiful and sings great and her sound is her own."

Each morning we would wake up slowly, one by one, and mosey to the kitchen where Trevor would start brewing a massive pot of freshly ground coffee. We'd throw some logs into the wood stove, eat a five-star breakfast made by Trevor's mom, Alice, and then start to jam together. It felt like we were living in a rock star fantasy land. There were many different musical places we explored together and definitely pushed our limits as songwriters. Sometimes we tried playing each other's instruments which was really fun. We recorded almost 50 hours of material and now we are pulling from those amazing bursts of inspiration to continue writing our next album.

It was hosted similar to a KEXP show and we were interviewed during the performance. We had the coolest time traveling around Washington, Nyna's original home land. We had a RED car! It had a Turbo in it and we raced a corvette on the highway and won. Then I woke up from that dream and we played our show.

Fort Vine has been collaborating with our neighbor, Micah Henning, to put together a showcase of talented artists in Harlem on the first Thursday of the month. Our debut installment was held at The Chipped Cup last night - and it was a great success! We had three featured music acts: LTLT, Micah Henning, and Fort Vine, as well as one featured artist: Bruce Brackett. All of the musicians got together before the show and wrote a song called "All Our Friends", which we performed together as the finale of the night. This has now become the theme song for our project, and we intend to perform it at every show, with a different line-up of local musicians each month. Stay tuned for the release of "All Our Friends" as a downloadable single. Next month, (Thursday, May 7th) we will be hosting Uptown Artists' Revolution at Double Dutch Cafe on 118th st and Fredrick Douglas Blvd. We are still on the lookout for artists who are interested in performing at our next showcase. Please reach out to us if you, or someone you know, would like to play, or be our featured artist (painter/photographer/sculptor/etc).
