Chris Funk of The Decemberists

<p>This episode features a chat with Chris Funk, guitarist of The Decemberists, who has a new solo album out. We get into those things as well as Chris' history as a Deadhead, listening to some of his music along the way, before diving into a heavy slice of Grateful Dead music.</p><p>Chris Funk's new album, The Painted Porch, is available at <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7946891854149849978/449023593374124850#" target="_blank">Jealous Butcher Records</a> and via <a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/7946891854149849978/449023593374124850#" target="_blank">Bandcamp</a>. All profits from Bandcamp sales will be donated to the COVID-19 Oregon Musicians’ Relief Fund through the Jeremy Wilson Foundation.

They will once again be waiving all fees and passing 100% on sales directly to member artists and labels on June 5th. This is an effort to help musicians make it though these challenging times when shows simply aren't possible.
