2019 was, is, and will be remembered as a pivotal year on planet Earth, a time when we could no longer dodge the truth. Climate change, obtuse populism, continued racism and assault on African American youth, open discussion of abuse of women; each of these issues boiled over into global consciousness as the closet doors swung wide open. A host of righteous ambassadors emerged on all fronts - writers, courageous women who told their stories, teen climate activists, young politicians challenging the status quo, athletes, and of course musicians.

So let us tell you a little (big) story as we reflect on the music emanating from our community of musicians. This is a story of humanity wrestling with itself, a story of reckoning with the truth of our deeds, our actions, and our intent. This is a story of artists painting a picture of the past, the present, and the future. This is the story of the global Ropeadope family.
