Guitarist Bill MacKay has a new full-length for Drag City out soon. Fountain Fire follows up 2017’s solo album Esker and his collaborative album with Ryley Walker, SpiderBeetleBee. The Chicago composer has now shared “Welcome” the third single from his upcoming record, following “Try It On” and “Pre-California.”

“Welcome” is as warm as the name suggests. Delicate, homey acoustic and electric guitars mingle with organ flourishes. It’s a purely instrumental moment, conveying its unifying invitation without the need for awkward introductions.

MacKay is also heading out on a North American tour soon. Check out the dates and listen to “Welcome” below.
