I’m begging you: do not add to the touring discourse with something as heinously naive as “buy merch and wear masks!” Know that it’s much more complicated than that. I want to talk about the issues together and with nuance. Not a great prompt for Twitter but here’s a start.

I had the opportunity to speak with @therealkurtvile, who’s slated to play @TheNationalRVA this Wednesday. Q&A up now over at @StyleWeekly:

So grateful to have had a conversation with @thejessedaniel, whose journey as a singer-songwriter is truly inspiring. Hope you’ll give this @StyleWeekly piece a read. I think you’ll be as eager to see him at the @RVAFolkFestival as I am.
