I never wanted to put on a protest concert. Honestly, I still don’t. I understand the labels that go along with organizing a show called “This Scene Kills Fascists”. I’m not a “crazy radical”. I’m an easy going, kind hearted guy. But as we’ve moved into darker times, it’s a really hard time to be someone with a great big heart.
Like most of us, I found myself doom scrolling. Every day there’s a new incident that induces a scattershot of emotions: anxiety, anger, fear, etc. Over time those emotions gave way to exhaustion and depression. I felt isolated and helpless. Disconnected. And for me, there’s no worse feelings in the world.
This concert is the product of realizing I had to do something, anything. After a chat over beers with my pal Tyler of we realized we had very similar feelings. And if we felt this way, other folks must too. And we began this crazy, harrowing journey to bring connection to people and do as much good as possible. We had some really wonderful people that stepped up to help along the way - Our good friend of and my buddy and musical collaborator . And of course the fine folks at who stepped up and gave us a space. Between all of us we are super lucky to connect with all these amazing songwriters who are kind enough to play for a charitable cause.
100% of all ticket sales will be donated to . We’ve given tables to other non profits too in order to give folks any avenue they need to feel like they are helping and part of a community.
We may not have the biggest platform in the world but we will do every bit of good we can for our community and beyond with the one we got.
And as a disclaimer: “This Scene Kills Fascists” (an ode to Woody Guthrie) is evocative but it isn’t violent. In fact, it represents the exact opposite. It’s using your art: voice, words, instrument, stage, paintbrush, camera, etc. to express opposition. Not violence. Thursday at 7PM we’re going to lift our voices and carry on the tradition of Guthrie, Dylan, Seeger, and countless others. And record it 🙂. Together. We is greater than me.
