VIDEOS
Solo performance of “No Corona” on March 24, 2020, played in my backyard while enduring the Great Shutdown of the COVID-19 outbreak. In summertime my friends and I go camping on a small island in Penobscot Bay, Maine. I’ve always thought this place might be a good bug-out spot if society goes sideways. This dust-bowl-inspired tune is for my camping buddies and everyone else who feels like running away to an island.
Jeff and friends playing “Renovator” and “Last Man” from the Renovator EP on the 207 television program in 2019.
Watch “Renovator” below, and go to the NewsCenter Maine site to see the other song and get more info. Jeff Badger (guitar, vocals), Tom Abercrombie (bass), Adam Bean (guitar), Matt Meyer (banjo), and Craig Weaver (drums).
