Joanna Newsom + Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold Team Up for Ethereal ‘On a Good Day’
Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold is the opening act for Joanna Newsom’s current tour, and during a stop last week, the two artists teamed up for a breathtaking duet.
Newsom is currently on the road behind last year’s Divers. During a concert at the Olympia Theatre in Dublin, Pecknold joined the singer-songwriter and harpist on stage for a particularly lovely performance of Newsom’s Have One On Me track “On a Good Day.” Watch fan-shot footage at the top of the page. This isn’t the first time Newsom and Pecknold have collaborated. As Pitchfork points out, they toured together in 2010, too, and joined forces on several duets, including their singular take on Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock’s “Picture.”
Pecknold has been debuting new material during his opening sets on Newsom’s tour. You can see footage of a couple of those songs, along with the two artists’ upcoming North American tour dates in March and April, below. Fleet Foxes last released their sophomore album Helplessness Blues in 2011.
