Last November I did an NPR Music Tiny Desk performance of some new song ideas with an incredible band of friends and the energy was insane. It felt restorative—revival energy. Completely egoless and wonderfully communal. These times are complex and it’s inspired me even more to finish these songs and share some art to help counteract the blues. Stay tuned and until then, may our vibe at the desk that day translate to you wherever you are. Click link for full performance: n.pr/2yg6oOZ ✌🏾 | Jon B
