Hiss Golden Messenger surprise released a live album. The record, entitled Forward, Children: A fundraiser for Durham Public Schools students, is out today via Bandcamp.
Captured by Luc Suer on January 11 at the legendary Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, North Carolina, the live collection features some of Hiss Golden Messenger’s most well-known songs from throughout the outfit’s tenure including “Highland Grace,” “Saturday’s Song,” “When the Wall Comes Down” and “Jesus Shot Me In The Head.”
All proceeds from Forward, Children will go to the Durham Public Schools Foundation as schools struggle to cope with the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. Paramount in that effort is making sure that children who relied on school meals will not go hungry. Hiss Golden Messenger mastermind M.C. Taylor is the son of two teachers, the spouse of a teacher and taught briefly himself after receiving a graduate degree from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Taylor’s two children are both in elementary school. “It’s my duty as a dad of students and the spouse of a teacher,” Taylor said in a statement, “to give what I can.”
