Chris Pierce “American Silence”

February 23, 2021 Alasdair Fotheringham 0

Passionate, well-constructed, generously-spirited protest music that can’t be ignored. There’s a quote attributed to Americana/folk musician Todd Snider out there where he says ‘I didn’t write this song to change people’s minds, I wrote it to […]
