A wonderful documentary has just been released about my dear friend and earliest musical and activist inspiration, @joancbaezofficial. The film presents a raw and honest look at her life as a musician and activist from the very early days to the ending of her touring career. JOAN BAEZ I AM A NOISE takes an honest look back and a deep look inward as she tries to make sense of her large history-making life and reveals, for the first time, personal struggles she’s kept private, until now. Playing now in theaters nationwide. You can find tickets at joanbaezdocumentary.com and watch the trailer at the link in bio.

Please let us continue to keep the people of West Maui as well as the Upcountry part of the island in your hearts as they navigate the incredibly difficult aftermath of the devastating wildfires. If you are able to send donations to Hawaii-based non-profits supporting community-organized mutual aid relief hubs, please consider doing so today. Thousands of people, including families with young children and elderly relatives are displaced and are struggling to meet their basic needs amid the ongoing chaos and frustrating response from the government. The local community in Lāhainā have been mobilized and helping each other for the past 10 days, but their need for support to continue to help their neighbors is ongoing. It’s so important to help these families be able to stay in Lāhainā and not be forced to move elsewhere. Please donate if you can, anything helps. Some suggested links are in my link in bio. Thank you. — BRHQ
