Brian explores how witnessing &amp; acknowledging existing community strengths can foster genuine connections. We also discuss the challenges &amp; triumphs of organizing within the music world, the importance of self-care on the road &amp; the need to focus on collaboration over competition within the DIY/folk punk community. Join us for an inspiring conversation about building meaningful communities &amp; the role of music in bridging divides across the country.
