IT'S GETTIN' HOT IN HERE! TURN UP THE "GOOD TROUBLE" MUSIC!

The Summer of ‘25 has hit us with plenty! Incredible heat, incredible floods and incredible attacks on decency and the rule of law have become standard fare in this nation! Now, it’s time for GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON protests on Thursday, July 17th. Please plan on participating somewhere somehow!

My response? The times mandate music and all forms of passionate expression from artivists like me … and I am heeding the call. My latest composition, NO CROWNS FOR CLOWNS, was written and recorded during the two weeks leading up to Independence Day. Our new video was aggressively pulled together for this song during the past two weeks. We wanted it to be ready for Thursday’s GOOD TROUBLE LIVES ON protests!
