Another sweet little rocker from the noon show. Hope to have more rad families at the evening show. Doing that one in about an hour, starting at 6 PM California time, just head to jonahmatranga.com/concert-hall and sign in if you aren’t already, it’s free and easy, and there’s a little message board underneath the video where you can say hi to other people, leave song ideas, wish my mom happy birthday, whatever you like. Enjoy. 💜 #stayhome #musician #diy #community #streaming #live (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-x52EBJ3_l/?igshid=iwmibec4yqyo

Seeing sweetness like this after I sing is my fave thing about doing these online shows, esp now with parents & kids stuck at home, everyone doin their best. Today's noon show is still up and watchable all afternoon in the Concert Hall - jonahmatranga.com/concert-hall - for free. Just sign in & all, it's simple. Then at 6, we rock again. Yay community, wherever we are, however we can. #stayhometogether (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-xkTcmg7Uy/?igshid=13zw7vszx1760

Here’s a lil movie of me at home, catching up on Yard Sale (jonahmatranga.com/yard-sale) orders. Friends have helped with shipping stuff over the years, and these days (esp THESE days) it’s just me. Please get stuff for yrself & loved ones, and help keep me afloat while we all wait & see what the world has in store for us. I’ve got a handful of gorgeous Far & Gratitude vinyls left, along with more music, books, audiobooks, cute & comfy clothes, and who knows. It's all pay-what-you-can, I put treats in with the orders, I do the postage personally to make sure you’re never overcharged, and do all I can to keep things simple & personal. Thanks forever for getting stuff, keeping in touch, spreading the word, and helping me live this life as best I can. #diy #homesweethome https://www.instagram.com/p/B-cmVjTA7gM/?igshid=1bndhqvvrkw5i

Two cute screen grabs from a few minutes ago, just after singing for @jeremyxbolm @normanbrannon @geoffrickly and everyone else tuning in to the rad @antimatterxxv interview series Norman’s got going. Fun to see people getting creative to get through this together. To that end, I’ve got my whole audiobook streaming for free at jonahmatranga.com with songs in between the chapters and a little comments area for a virtual book club if anyone wants to offer ideas or ask questions. I’ll be doing some more live stuff online next weekend as well. Keep in touch in all the ways, support each other in all the ways. - #toucheamore https://www.instagram.com/p/B-QAOZcpNBd/?igshid=8ky6g62q7w23

While we're all keeping a safe distance from one another, I'm thinking about ways to connect over the miles & satellites. I've been wanting to do a little book club for Alone Rewinding: 23 Years of Fatherhood & Music for a while now, and it feels like this is the time. I made a place where you can listen to the audiobook and the songs the book is based around, and offer any thoughts or questions that come up along the way. It's free (just gotta register, helps keep the bots away) and you're good to go. In the Yard Sale at jonahmatranga.com you can get Alone Rewinding in physical & digital forms. If you haven't already, I hope you buy it & all the other stuff. If you haven't already, I hope you join IDEAS, the fun community we're building. Yr support is extra-appreciated in these no-touring, no-gathering times. Either way, now we have a place for going through the book & music together. The Intro, the first chapter, and a recording of me rocking my high school talent show are up now. I'll add more songs & chapters as we go, and I look forward to talking with you about all of it.

"I don't love selfies. Yesterday, though, I took this photo. After hours in ICU after taking off all my protective devices. All this will pass, united in one immense joint effort" - Nicola Sgarbi, Medical resident at the Polyclinic of #Modena - I saw this and my eyes immediately welled up with admiration, with worry, with release, with compassion. In this time of social distancing, an honest gaze means even more. When my daughter was little and we were in conflict, I'd ask her to meet my gaze for three seconds, and it would consistently end the tension. We'd usually end up laughing/crying. Let's look each other in the eye with the unconditional love we deserve, now and forever. - #coronavirus #community #love (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zO2IJpKZ2/?igshid=1tna4qyvodz27

Presuming all the tech works (just tested it), I'll be singing from my home to yrs tomorrow, Sat Mar 14, starting at 10am PST (https://www.timeanddate.com/time/map/). Song ideas? I'll hang out for at least an hour-ish. If it works well and we have fun, I'll do it more, and extra-frequently while we get through this pandemic. You can register / sign in for free anytime, link in bio. I put a supersimple donation button there too, all $ goes to those most Coronavirus-affected, please share ideas/links for good ways to give. Let's stick together in these stressful, spooky Mandatory Social Distancing times. 💜 jonahmatranga.com/concert-hall (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9r_Z_5Jzku/?igshid=1f1gi44717n9b

INTELLIGENT LIFE? It’s almost like #coronavirus is reminding us (in very scary and painful ways) to slow down, consider our effect on each other and our environment, make sure we’re taking care of ourselves, choose our leadership and next steps thoughtfully, and remember how fragile safety can be, especially for the billions of us already made less safe by wealth disparity, climate crisis, and the tireless grind of consumption and corruption. I hope we learn from this surreal, terrifying time-out. Presuming we get out of it. Love to you & yrs, wherever you are.

Posting up this #tbt from a superfun Far show 10 years ago with xtra love to anyone out on tour right now, or who helps put shows on, or who loves going to them. I’m thinking of all the sweat and visceral human contact that happens at rock shows. It breaks my heart how scary all that feels right now. We need contact and togetherness. Hope to see you all soon out there, singing and smiling and hugging and sweating together. Presuming the world is still here come summertime, I’m planning stuff in the UK, the EU, and CAnada, with lots more ideas for autumn and onward. Anyone who wants to help something happen or just stay in touch, say hi at jonahmatranga.com anytime. 💜 ps - Thx for the sweet pic that prompted this post, @shawntherobbins (at Bottom of the Hill) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9plI6TJOT-/?igshid=l8g50hdjhetp
