“Fever” about deploying empathy to get past the frustration we have with one another. A plea to actually TALK to one another, despite the intentional pressure (by those in power) to keep us apart, distracted by pointless, bitter in-fighting. Collective action is only possible when we see and experience commonality and cohesion.

The narrative in “Fever” goes from frustration to empathy in 4 minutes. It demonstrates a pathway, and the cost of NOT coming together. I perform it live often, and it generates an intense reaction. You can feel the energy shift in the room.

I got an arts grant to support the studio production of this track. I made a pitch with a demo and a set of lyrics, along with my aim to have it serve a social good. The song was tested in front of real audiences. It’s been revised again and again in response to feedback and post-show audience comments.

It features the beautiful backing vocals of Britt Connors, who guested on One Sunday in Autumn as well. And like my other recent singles, this song is made infinitely better by some of the Boston area’s best musicians: Andrew Stern (Mark Erelli Band, Dennis Brennan Band) on lead and 12-string guitar, Dave Brophy (Will Dailey, Alisa Amador) on drums & percussion, Joe McMahon on bass, and Peter Fernandez on organ.

All my music is available on: Spotify, Pandora, Apple, Amazon, or Bandcamp
