Live from the Unknown

out 5.1.2026

live from the unknown launches the Plectrum Five into recorded territory, capturing live, full takes with no edits in an analog environment. On this record, Kaley introduces us to some of the stories and poems of her family: seven generations of women and only daughters out of Boulder, Montana, who first entered this land in the early 1860s and live there to this day. Her poetry wrestles with the lives of women who settled the west: the violence and oppression that they both experienced and inflicted, the independence they wrested in such a harsh landscape, the communities they created and cared for, and the profound relationship with the land and their personhood that ultimately grew out of this deeply confusing and problematic movement into the west.

Premiered live on November 21, 2025 at Town Hall Seattle as part of Kaley’s stage show Maverick Granddaughter, the songs from live from the unknown tell the first act of an American epic. Except: time is not linear, our identities blur with our ancestors, the romance is rewritten and the land wins. Always.

Recorded February 2026 at Anacortes Unknown.
