Sugarcane Jane Make the Most of Social Distancing with Free Single 'Fellow Man', Hibernation Tour Shows

The COVID-19 virus quarantines have been rough on everyone, but especially on musicians who have seen touring, the primary source of revenue for most independent artists in the face of small streaming payments, dry up. But, being the creative people they are, many artists are finding creative ways to use that time. Some are working on writing or recording albums. Some are doing online concerts. Some are taking to crowdfunding sites like Patreon. One band, Alabama's Sugarcane Jane, is spreading the love by writing new music and giving it away to their fans.

The single and video “Fellow Man” is about as timely as you can get. It was written during, and about, the quarantine. As is often the case with Sugarcane Jane, the band makes the best of a trying situation by noting that hard times are also an opportunity to do good for your fellow humans, whether that's buying supplies for the home bound, donating to a relief fund for displaced workers, or just staying inside to protect the immuno-compromised and “flatten the curve.”

You can see the video for “Fellow Man” below and download the single for free when you sign up for the newsletter on their website. They are also among the many artists who are doing virtual concerts, or what they call their “Hibernation Tour” on their Facebook page daily with a virtual tip jar to raise funds.
