CPJ International Press Freedom Awards 2020 - Thrown Over The Wall

In November 2020 I was honored to be invited by CPJ-The Committee to Protect Journalists-to perform my song 'Thrown Over The Wall' as the closing musical number to their International Press Freedom Awards benefit, which was a streaming event this year that went out live around the world on November 19. CPJ does important work, protecting journalists in hot spots around the world and working to insure press freedom. With lyrics written in collaboration with author Jonathan Lethem and pulled directly from the headlines, it seemed an appropriate choice. We truncated the song somewhat to fit their time constraints.
This was the first stage I've been on (w limited, covid-safe crew, no audience) since back in February; it felt both surreal and beautiful.
