“Daily Antidote of Song reaches across the miles and the heartache of war, the pandemic and all that isolates us from one another. It opens our hearts as we open ourselves to the medicine and the magic of song.”
- Pat Humphries of Emma’s Revolution, activist/songwriter/performer, CA
“Daily Antidote of Song is one of the most vibrant communities I have ever encountered. Every song, song-leader, and community member is out there to spark joy and to bring us to a more humane place in ourselves. Even on days when I’m not leading a song, if I feel a bit blue, this is where I’ll be to feel like I’m in a giant hug where people care! And days that I do lead a song, it is so gratifying to see people from all across the planet sing along with complete presence to languages unfamiliar. DAS brings people together and for that half hour, we forget our differences and remember that we are all in this together.”
- Shruthi Veena Vishwanath
“The Daily Antidote of Song (DAS) is creating an extraordinary network of singers and singing leaders from around the world. For many DAS regulars, being recognized with a daily friendly hello and goodbye is an important source of solace and community; Jo Rasi and others deepen that by making a personal connection, in-person when possible, with the regular DAS attendees. The Daily Antidote of Song’s impact on the world-wide community of singers and singing leaders profoundly transcends the virtual world it inhabits. It has certainly enriched my singing life.”
- Peter Amidon, choral leader/arranger/publisher
“As an artist with invisible disabilities, sometimes I cannot leave the house and Daily Antidote of Song has been a true saviour as it not only gives me the ability to perform from home, but also to be part of a warm, welcoming and supportive community which spans generations and the world”
- Alex Cumming, Singer, Accordionist, Pianist, Dance Caller, Workshop Leader, Session Musician
There’s so much reciprocal joy that happens here.
- Dick Jackson & Cathy Baker, Gettin’ Higher Choir
“The Daily Antidote of Song did what no COVID vaccine could do — it brought people together on Zoom to lift our hearts and spirit with the collective effervescence of song!”
- Elise Bryant
I want to thank the DAS for introducing me to music I may have otherwise not found.
