What song are you most excited to play at this year’s 617 Day?
If you could cover one artist at every performance, who would it be and why?
There are too many possible answers but the first that comes to mind is Warren Zevon. His music was bestowed upon me by trusted and tasteful adults at a very young age. He is under appreciated, but in a way that feels like his songs are safe and protected. He meets our foibles with irreverence and our sadness with truth and humor. I imagine performing them each night would be healthy and fortifying in these so-called days.
