The Minnesota music scene is a large and sometimes confusing place. This has only become more true during the global pandemic we're currently living through. However, many musicians have taken advantage of this time to come together and support the artists and people who need it the most. A prime example of that is "Going Live with Love."
On Saturday, May 9th, an incredible group of 26 local musicians will be performing as part of a livestream to raise money to help Jessa Roquet, the primary songwriter behind Gambler's Daughter. Just prior to the national shutdown resulting from COVID-19, Roquet was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a rare liver bile duct cancer. We got a chance to talk with Roquet about the fundraiser and how she's tried to stay positive through it all. Listen to our interview below.
The livestream is from 11 am to 6 pm; tune in here. You can directly support Roquet by donating to GoFundMe and Caring Bridge or through Venmo (@Jessa-Roquet). Gambler's Daughter's wonderful album Serotinous Skin is available to be purchased through Bandcamp, digitally or on CD.
