More on FRIEND ROCK:
We are nothing without our friends.

 

“Most of my friends I started with in music have since retired, which makes me feel like the world has turned and left me here. Collaborating with fellow “musician lifers” on this album made me feel less lonely and insane,” explains Newski. “It’s been neat to become pals with musical heroes from childhood.”

 

Some of the connections on Friend Rock were made during NEWSKI’s podcast “Dirt from the Road”, where guest musicians would have a laugh about their worst moments on the road. 

Social science research shows community and friendship are consistent common denominators in the happiest countries in the world. Belonging to the right tribe is a catalyst to health and longevity. Friend Rock is an ode to the power of community. 

A good friend is hard to find. So when you find those rare gems, you gotta keep them in your life.  

 

*The term “Friend Rock” was originally documented in a Sufjan Stevens interview when he was asked what music he was listening to…his friends bands.
