RIP, Vic Chesnutt
I’ve been extremely busy since returning from the David Bazan tour in Novemeber, working on several different records with lots of great bands. I leave January 4th with Midlake, with whom I’ll be touring (as tour manager, front of house, and monitor engineer) until at least June 5th — hopefully I’ll have more time for writing on the bus.
The end of 2009 will be a sad one, due to the death of Vic Chesnutt. I had the pleasure of working his epic show at Hailey’s in Denton on Dec 4th. (Here’s his performance of “Flirted With You All My Life” from that show, courtesy of Kerm Rivas.) I hope he’s finally found relief.
Those wishing to help his family with his remaining debts can donate at Kristin Hersh’ site.
