I know… I have said it more than once to you, but it feels good to be playing for you( Hi y’all @elmvale_salesbarn & @wasagabeachfarmersmarket )
and I hope you will continue to come out and support US!
..as much as it may seem like we are having a “back to normal summer“… Those at work in the music industry & the arts know what I speak of. Things are NOT the same. There are less venues. Artists are pivoting and re-creating solutions to continue to do their music. Flights are expensive or cancelled for shows. Gas and touring is expensive… Tour buses are rare. During the pandemic many planes and buses were liquidated and sold which means less staff to help facilitate these things. And then the price for such things increases for the consumer, and for the artist. Imagine coming back to work after two years of not working and getting ready to do your first show and there’s no instruments because your baggage has been lost. That is happening. Many of us would be considered “low or middle class artist“… And we do much of our work locally in small venues and we create some of our work and produce. We are trying amidst the exhaustion, and we are rising, every time I see your faces smiling at me when I play. Thanks for that #♥️

as much as we are coming back, we are also dealing with the repercussions of what we have gone through. And many of us, as we try to go forward, are exhausted. So remember that when you go out to support live music, you’re also supporting our physical and mental well-being… And in turn, you’re giving yourself that same physical and mental health boost! #winWin Art and live music… This will help us heal through all of this and nurture us all
