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.
