Check it out: KEXP and the Tractor Tavern present a special MusiCares benefit concert. Bringing together an incredible lineup of artists to support the health and well-being of musicians to play the songs of Jason Molina. This all-star event will feature some of Seattle's most beloved musicians, with proceeds going to MusiCares, a vital resource that provides assistance to music professionals in times of need.

Prior to the pandemic I produced these MusiCares benefits over 5 years, and then it just got to be a bit much. I'm feeling refreshed and inspired to do it again. And this year, it's going to be something special.
