The animal brigade, inflatable and otherwise, brought the magic in Eugene, OR today! They were EVERYWHERE!
Thousands of community members peaceably expressing themselves with creativity & joy out in the gorgeous weather + a T-Rex-led dance party = a great Saturday.

TODAY (Saturday, May 17) at Tsunami Books in #EugeneOregon, Shadow Sway (duo featuring me on vocals/piano & Daniel Gallo on guitar) play a concert of mostly original music with lots of heart, and we’d love for you to join us!
I am SO needing this kind of evening of music! 🙌

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

“You’re a paper man
moving fast as you can.
You hear but don’t listen,
know, but don’t understand -
can’t bear the weight, no, not a paper man.”

So fun to play my song “Paper Man” in London, UK with these incredible musicians a few years ago.

Thousands showed up to the Hands Off protest today in Eugene, OR (organizers estimated 5,000+ 🙌).
Many thousands more gathered in Portland and nearly every other city and town in Oregon - a massive turnout.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.

They can't keep spewing carbon.

They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.

They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.
Absolute BLOODBATH at HHS/NIH/CDC this morning. Generation of scientists, health care officials being wiped out

In America an ugly chapter has begun. We understand that this is our time to stand for our principles -no matter the cost. We see fear-we see cowardice. And we see courage too.
This moment calls for moral fortitude & clarity. We are wide awake now. Our best selves are rising to meet the moment.

Hey #Oregon folks! Need some live music to get through the week? I sure do.
I’m playing two shows (7 pm and 9 pm) this Sat, March 15 @ The Jazz Station in #EugeneOR with songs to welcome the spring, uplift the spirit & bring catharsis in troubling times.
Would love to see you!

Today’s a day when you can buy music in a way that best supports #independentartists: it’s “Bandcamp Friday”, during which 100% of all sales on @bandcamp.com go directly to the artists who create the music! 🎶

Find me and thousands of other music makers on Bandcamp, and if you want to support (1/3)⬇️

A little #waybackwednesday with pics from my show @ Lincoln Center in NYC this time last year to announce I’m playing TWO SHOWS on March 15th in Eugene, OR at The Jazz Station 🙌 We’ll be saying “so long” to the winter doldrums/hello to the burgeoning spring the best way we know how—with music!

"The most salient lesson from “Sower,” for me—and one that runs throughout Butler’s work—is about the innovation and adaptation required to survive the unsurvivable."

SCOOP: Cats that became infected with bird flu might have spread the virus to humans in the same household and vice versa, according to data that briefly appeared online in a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention but then abruptly vanished.

I got to engage in a very enjoyable chat/interview for Radio Boise that airs today… hear my conversation with the very insightful host of “The Juke Joint” show, Ev Hadden, at 5pm MT/4pm PT on radioboise.org — we discuss music, the meaning of life and art… you know, *small* conversational topics.
