WOODSTOCK/UPSTATE NY - i am doing an adorable and random spontaneous thing today (saturday, july 23rd) and playing some folk songs with my new pal Holly Miranda at 4pm to raise money for the wonderful woodstock library…

if you’re in the neighborhood, swing by. entry is $2 and the event is on the library’s front lawn. lots of books for sale, food vendors, crafts, kids stuff ….

come! hugs please!

and if you’re coming. comment here and check for updates and find friends!!! maybe use the old patron trick and put a playing card somewhere on your body so people can identify you (or paint a ♠️♥️♣️♦️on your face, it’s a fair, yo)

if you’re upstate or in NY, also don’t forget i’m playing a benefit for O+ with holly, gracie and rachel and chris wells on Aug 13 in kingston at the old dutch church, and the tickets are selling fast. get ‘em before they’re gone

Dear, Darling Amanda, After two years of single-mother captivity, and knowing your spirit, I can only imagine how utterly thrilled you must be, to be gettin’ down all über-productive & performative. Your heart must be a flurry, and I deeply envy (in the sweetest way possible) all the patrons lucky enough to live near you. This might sound weird to say, but you are the only reason I’d ever consider moving to America: so that I could witness and partake in ninja-gigs and meetups and your shimmering contagious energy. I adore you, Mrs Sonu Sofri! ;p Love, Pedro B. Gorman

libraries are my happy place. i grew up - in many ways - in the basement of my local library. xxx

for people not close enough to attend the O-positive benefit, their website has some interesting videos and a button to donate--it's an amazing organization that connects under-insured artists with healthcare, allowing them to trade art for wellness and healthcare services (the U.S. healthcare system is not accessible to many...). it's very impressive what they have been able to accomplish, and they now have a national footprint and a template for anyone to use to copy their model. also, yay for libraries!

I'm driving up from MA for this. Love libraries! Love AFP! Thanks for the spontaneity 🧡 I will be all in black with red hair. AFP Patreon ROCKS!

Larissa Rook

Yes! Support local libraries! That is awesome. And a music benefit is a great idea. Maybe I will organize one for my town. My little town is raising money to build a new library edition. And periodically have used book sales to raise money. But I never thought about a little concert. I could do that! Thanks for the inspiration!📚🎶🎹🎤

Thomas Herlofsen

Ditto. I still live in my local library a lot, especially to write.

added to my stack of books, this looks great ❤️ 😀

Catherine Hannah

Yay!! Library benefits are the BEST! I haunted ALL the libraries in town growing up-my faves were Davies grad stacks because old&cavernous and could get lost and no one but books for HOURS....

Shawn Connery

I’m here enjoying the shade waiting for ya!! Can’t wait! Used to work at our local library back home In High school and then again in the research room until I moved.

Laura Morland

Wish I could have heard you. 🎹🎶🎤🎹 Um, about a year ago I put a link (in a comment) to Bobby McFerrin's stupendous video with Robin Williams and another local (S.F.) talent, 'cause I thought that Ash would love it. Now I'm thinking you may indeed have seen it! https://youtu.be/d-diB65scQU
