Beck, Jeff Tweedy and Phoebe Bridgers are among the artists participating in a Daniel Johnston tribute hosted by Electric Lady Studios
The tribute is titled, “Honey I Sure Miss You” — after a Johnston song of the same name — and it will feature a stacked lineup of artists who have submitted pre-recorded performances of their favorite Johnston songs. Joining Beck, Tweedy and Bridgers are Devendra Banhart, Waxahatchee, Maya Hawke and Jesse Harris, the Lemon Twigs, Kevin Morby, Lucius, Cut Worms, Jody Seabody and the Whirls, Claud and Adam Green.
In a statement, Electric Lady’s managing partner, Lee Foster, said, “I’m just a huge fan of Daniel Johnston’s drawings and music and recognize how beloved he is, especially within the music community. If you’re a fan, you’re usually a fanatic, and when I started reaching out to musician and industry friends for video submissions, the answer was almost always an all-caps ‘YES.’ People want to celebrate him.
The Hi How Are You Project, the mental health nonprofit inspired by Johnston’s life and legacy, also tweeted about the event, saying, “Today we are remembering Daniel with a video tribute from these stellar artists. Thank you to all the artists who contributed to help make this possible.” Today we are remembering Daniel with a video tribute from these stellar artists.
