One of my favorite tour memories from 2011 was when I got to sing for Alexander, a 7-year old autistic boy, whose favorite songs are “The Sun” by Tigers Jaw (#PApride) and “Spring Song” by me. My friend Adam works after school with students like Alexander and when he’s not in school himself or working with special needs kids, he’s putting on DIY shows and playing in his hardcore band. It’s difficult to not be inspired on tour because of the amazing people that make up this music community. I can’t tell you how special it was to be invited to participate in the awesome work that a guy like Adam is doing (just hours before the awesome house show he put on for me that night in Reno.) This is just one person out of many in this global arts community making a huge impact. It leads me to wonder what amazing things all of you (reading this) are working on.

I’m beginning the year optimistic and hopeful for what’s to come. Music is where we connect. It’s exciting to know that we’ll be able to continue the conversation. Please reach out to me if you’d be interested in hosting a DIY house or alternative space show in February through April for the taping of Spring Song Vol. 2, which will be coming out on Run For Cover Records later this year. E-mail me at colormake@gmail.com.

Keep working hard, fighting the good fight, singin’ out. We are many, friends. Peace to you.

Love,
KOJI 

this is cooler than anything.

This definitely made me tear up.
