In case you haven’t visited lately, the Rex Foundation’s web site has been quite active. And there’s a “Musicians Spotlight” feature on me up there now – an interview by a fine young writer named Casey Lowdermilk.
Says musician, songwriter, and producer David Gans: “I like Rex’s commitment to grassroots, direct-action humanitarianism. In a world that is often weighed down by the excesses of the blockbuster mentality, Rex has seen to the creation of a thousand small wonders.”
Take a look at the interview – I’m quite proud of it! – and visit the rest of the Rex site, too. Rex will be part of several musical events this summer, including two where I’m performing: GratefulFest at Nelson Ledges in Ohio, and Gathering of the Vibes in Mariaville, New York.
The Rex Foundation has been “Fostering the power of community, service and the arts” for more than 20 years now. Important work done by great people.
As a young kid growing up in Sacramento I saw many a Rex Benefit. In 1992 the band brought along the David Grisman Quintet, Peter Aphulbaum (sic) and the Heiroglyphics Ansemble, and Pharoah Saunders. Memorable opening acts.
Great group of people to be included with.
Good work.
