Joanna Newsom is currently in the midst of her “Strings/Keys” residency at The Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever in Los Angeles. During her matinee performance on Saturday (May 18th), the singer-songwriter played a set filled with children’s songs and debuted a new composition titled “Rovenshere.”
Newsom had advertised the Saturday show as “not only suitable for children, but specifically designed with them in mind,” which meant playing covers of “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” and Jim Henson’s “Tadpole” and “The Frogs in the Glen” while accompanied by puppeteers.

To close out the concert, however, Newsom treated the audience to the live debut of “Rovenshere,” which features fanciful lyrics like, “Our love is in the very ground/ And suspended in the air/ O’er the land of Rovenshere.” Watch the fan-shot video below.
Elsewhere during her residency, Newsom has been joined on stage by Robin Pecknold and Amber Coffman. On Friday, she debuted another new song fans have called “Home Economics.” Check it out below.
“The Strings/Keys Reincidence” will wrap up with another matinee show on Sunday, May 26th, and the final date on May 27th. Get tickets here.
Last year, Newsom debuted several new songs during a surprise opening set at a Fleet Foxes concert.
