Remembering Beloved and Iconoclastic Musician Michael Hurley, 1941-2025 | Smithsonian Folkways Recordings Celebrating the life of beloved and iconoclastic musician Michael Hurley (1941-2025)

Grateful to Smithsonian Folkways for inviting me to write a tribute to my friend, penpal & an all-time favorite artist Michael Hurley, who put his 1st album out on Folkways in 1964 and from there forged a path outside the constraints of the corporate music industry folkways.si.edu/news-and-pre...

not meet dc zoning regulations. this is going to be an absolutely hellish fight but I will NOT back down.

While I know she had a long list of legendary collaborators, she was also deeply respected among pedal steel guitarists. It’s not an overstatement to say that she did revolutionary things on the instrument. She was kind and clearly steadfast in her values. RIP to a hero of mine.

Took a lesson with Susan Alcorn on Sunday and saw her play a show last Thursday at Rhizome. Very shocked to hear of her passing. In the brief time I got to share in her presence, she always emphasized the importance of playing from the heart, and I get the sense that she approached life similarly

hey

thanks
