Nights of Grief & Mystery
World Tour
The Nights are coming on.
The UK/Ireland tour in late August is set. The Canada/US tour is being readied for September through November.
Let’s see what that thirty months of waiting was for.
Let’s find out what we’ve got.
Concerts for Turbulent Times they surely are. We aren’t poets, maybe, but the evenings are poetic. They are musical and grave and raucous and stilling, which probably means they are theatrical. They are nights in which love letters to life are written and read aloud. There’s some boldness in them. They have that tone. These nights have the mark of our time upon them, and they’re timely, urgent, alert, steeped in mortal mystery. They’re quixotic. They have swagger. What would you call such a thing?
We called it Nights of Grief & Mystery.
If you are interested in this event coming to where you live, be in touch with us.

A ten-minute excerpt from Dead Starling Session. The two pieces that started it all—Gregory’s Take a Little Walk and Stephen’s poetic response All the Songs of Love—were last-minute additions to the lineup of the film. What you see here is the first take of the song and the very first (and only) time the band and Stephen run down the poem. It doesn’t say everything about Nights of Grief and Mystery, but it says alot.
Author/Activist Stephen Jenkinson and recording artist Gregory Hoskins fuse their separate work into an evening that is part book reading, part concert, part poetry, part lamentation, part ribaldry, part lifting the mortal veil and learning the mysteries there. That’s what’s been performed to sold out houses in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, England, Scotland, Wales, Iceland and the USA.
Five years after its’ inception, Nights of Grief & Mystery: Dark Roads, Rough Gods World Tour travels the dark road through 70 cities on four continents over six months.
Friends are forged on the dark road heading out of town.
And so we head there again, sojourning across the world in the name of psychic sanity and spiritual resolve in these most troubled and troubling of times.
That dark road thing?
That is more than an image. That is what we do. That is our devotional act.
