Hey friends,
Hope
you are all doing well! Summer here in the northeast has been flying
by, and at this point I’ve given up on a lengthy monthly newsletter.
I’ll still occasionally update the Friends Not Fans blog with lots of cute pictures of Saoirse and videos from shows and such, but from now on I’ll just be sending out quick emails when I have something important or awesome
to tell you. Let me know if you miss the monthly newsletter format
though -- I could revive it, it’s just hard to find time with a almost-3-yea-old who likes to go to bed at 11!
I’ve been playing a fair amount of local shows in Boston this summer, and enjoying my organizing work with Fight for the Future.
It’s a pretty wonderful organization to work for, still allows me to do
plenty of music, and I get to spend a solid 40 hours a week trying to dismantle the NSA. Not a bad day job, eh?
I’m in the early stages of planning a brief West Coast Tour this Winter with my dear friend and mentor Anne Feeney,
who many of you know well as the best hellraising labor singer in North
America. Get in touch now if you’d like to bring us to your town,
anywhere between Bellingham and Santa Cruz. Email me: evangreer@gmail.com
I’m also hoping to book regular weekend workshops and performances
across the U.S. this Fall. Please get in touch if you’re interested in
bringing me to your area and we can have a chat about how to make it
happen! Even if you’ve never set up a show before, hit me up, I can talk
you through th process and give you some ideas. Just reply to this
email or ping me on Facebook or Twitter.
Not
much to report on the album front, sorry to say. Hoping to raise some
funds through shows this fall to make that happen! Considering a
crowdfunding campaign too. Details soon. :-)
What are you up to? I’m always happy to get updates and emails from everyone on my list so please reply and say hi!
Solidarity,
Evan Greer
