For regular readers of musings from boston, this soulful troubadour should need no introduction. Christopher Paul Stelling<\/a><\/strong> is an old friend, and he’s up to some stuff this year. His new album, Labor Against Waste<\/a><\/strong> (a fine bit of advice, by the way) is due out on June 16th on Anti-<\/a><\/strong>. He’ll be performing on CBS This Morning (yes, that’s network television<\/em>) on Saturday, June 13th. He was featured in Rolling Stone<\/a><\/strong> and on NPR<\/a><\/strong>, he’s currently on a major tour across Europe<\/a><\/strong>, and on July 26, he’ll be playing at this small gathering called the Newport Folk Festival<\/a><\/strong>. In other words, he’s doing OK. And this should come as no surprise, if you’re at all familiar with Stelling’s compelling songwriting, jaw-dropping acoustic finger-picking guitar chops and ‘venerable old soul’ vocals.<\/p>\n

A few entrancing videos of songs from the upcoming album have been released recently. Here’s one called “Warm Enemy.”<\/p>\n
