Ian Fisher is currently performing in the theater piece, "Kirschgarten / Cherry Orchard", by Anton Chekhov at the Theater in der Josefstadt in Vienna, Austria. The album below is a collection of songs inspired by the play.  Like Chekhov’s writing itself, the record’s sound is beautifully bare and direct with nothing to hide behind.  Just a voice and guitars.  Feverishly recorded in one night, it’s urgency and ease give it life.  These are nine dark songs taken refreshingly lightly, six of which were written specifically for the theater piece and three are reworked versions of songs that appeared on Fisher's last release, "Idle Hands”.  The Austrian newspaper, Der Standard, describes them as “Melancholy songs of pain that yet somehow beautifully woe the cheerful [characters of the “Cherry Orchard”] and provide the solid ground that they so desperately need.”  The album is currently available on this website and at the Theater in der Josefstadt, where Fisher will be performing in the “Kirschgarten” for the rest of the season.  The performance dates are listed below and you can find tickets by clicking on this link:
