Cleveland, OH Sufjan Tribute- Dear Mr Supercomputer 7/4/26

I have so many clips but just gonna leave this one here since some people in this community were asking. :)

I featured in this show this past weekend at The Bop Stop in Cleveland. We played 24 Sufjan jamz across the Sufjan spectrum. It was really fun doing some of the more elaborate arrangements like this one. (And dressing up Illinoise-makers!) 🗣️🗣️🗣️

There was so much life in the whole experience.

…one of our Reddit community members came out to see the show! That’s what it’s all about. 💛

Sometimes Sufjan Just Overwhelms Me

with the power of his lyrics. No matter how many hundreds of times I've listened to a song, some lines ring out at specific moments or moods, and I realize how my own struggles are crystalized in his words.

>For my intentions were good intentions
I could have loved you
I could have changed you
I wouldn't be so
I wouldn't feel so
Consumed by selfish thoughts

Is there anything else that sounds like the electric guitar tone on "what child is this anyway?"

I love this song, and I'm obsessed with the electric guitar on it. It just sounds so different and I've never heard anything like it. I don't think he has used this sound in any of his other music, I've heard all of his albums, and I haven't heard anything like it. Are there any other artists who have done anything similar?

What is the song that made your heart melt/emotionally touched you on the first listen?

For me, it is "John My Beloved" and "Will Anybody Ever Love Me?" There is a sense of sadness that wash over me whenever I listen to those songs especially "John My Beloved."

My State Album Tattoos

Have yet to had these recognized in public so figured I’d post here 😅 my favorite album is Carrie and Lowell but it didn’t feel right to get any tattoos related to that one, so I got the animals instead. My tattoo artist did a great job with the shading!
