100% OF THE PROCEEDS OF THIS ALBUM WILL BE DONATED TO THE IMMIGRANT DEFENSE PROJECT (http://www.immdefense.org/).

Last year, my friend Dan opened a record store in Long Island and we almost immediately talked about doing an acoustic show the week whatever next record I was working on came out. The night of the final presidential debate, a bunch of us crammed into his small air-conditioned store, which soon became muggy with human sweat. I played a bunch of songs I'd never played before, with no microphones or PA system, spoke to some people, changed my shirt, drank a water and headed back home to get ready for tour. A buncha weeks later my buddy Dan e-mailed this recording and was like "heyyyy" and I was like "heyyyyyyy" and here we are!

The Immigrant Defense Project uses impact litigation and advocacy to challenge unfair laws and policies and media and communications to counter the pervasive demonization of immigrants. They also provide expert legal advice, training, and resources to immigrants, legal defenders, and grassroots organizations, to support those on the frontlines of the struggle for justice.

Recorded by Peter Gristch. Live at Vinyl Paradise in Sayville, NY on October 19th, 2016. Mastered by Jeff Rosenstock.

Thank you, Peter for the recording. And thank you for donating.
