I was honored to create this issue of FLOOD Magazine’s cover art, which is meant to inspire action and hope for the future. I’ve been a longtime fan of the magazine, and in the spirit of making the future, I also felt it was important to help #SaveOurStages by donating to the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund. Music is the heartbeat of my work, it inspires me daily both sonically and lyrically. We can all remember the shows that shaped us, and the spaces where we experienced them, and I urge you to do what you can to support our independent venues so that many more generations can find their space too. Thanks for caring, and get your copy of FLOOD HERE! -Shepard
