Meghan Murphy<\/a>, an absolutely incredible singer and actress. I took this during one of my visits to Chicago, in the dead of winter. She had a gig with her band, Everybody Says Yes, and we all went. There was a snowstorm going on, and the drifts were literally piling up outside the venue. She is an electric performer, with a voice that can go anywhere, do anything. <\/p>\nThe pandemic has hit everyone hard, but don’t forget the artists. The pandemic has hit independent artists in a catastrophic way. Overnight they had no way to make a living. Not only that, being an artist isn’t a “job.” It’s who you are. Without performing, life became an unrecognizable desert. There’s been a lot of emotional suffering. Meghan has pushed on, finding ways to continue to do her thing, but it has not been easy. <\/p>\n
I am proud of her and hope you all check out her work. Find ways to support independent artists. <\/p>\n
