About
On Sept 5, 2023, we said farewell to our good friend Richard Laviolette, the sweetest soul and an absolute inspiration. And one of the most heartfelt goddamned pickers I've ever known.
After a battle with the curse that is Huntington's, and saying his goodbyes, he chose his day.
This man lit sparks that started fires all across this country. He showed a generation of us lucky enough to know him, how to write and sing and play from the heart. How to build communities that gave a shit about the stuff that mattered. How to start scenes and venues to spread the good word, and how to make labels to spread it. And how to love each other for what we were.
And we're all gonna just keep loving him for it, forever.
This is a bit of an archive of some of the times he was most alive, playing his heart out for each of us.
