Artist: John Southworth
Song: Simple Simple Boy
Recorded at The Tranzac's Main Hall (Service for Justin Haynes), April 19, 2019.
John Southworth - Simple Simple BoySome things are hard. In the aftermath of a sudden loss, family, friends and collaborators joined together to celebrate the life and music of Justin Haynes. Famously banned from The Tranzac, the sad smiles at the fact of his return were indicative of the vibe: shock and sadness with a grimly-funny streak. Hopefully being together helped some people move forward in processing this tragedy, and hopefully Justin's music and spirit will be remembered and celebrated. Over the course of the afternoon and evening, many of his fellow-travelers paid tribute by revisiting Justin's material or offering some new tributes. Here's a few of the sounds from the day.
Haynes was a longtime member of singer/songwriter John Southworth's backing band, reaching back from his brand new album all the back to this one from 2004, which Southworth described as the first song they played together.
