'I feel sorry for my neighbors, because I just love making noise,” says meganslankard, whose latest lockdown-compiled “California & Other Stories” album will be released Friday.
When the pandemic hit, local folk-rocker Megan Slankard noticed many San Franciscans following their survival instincts and leaving town. Her gut, however, told her not only to stay put in her Castro District apartment, but to burrow in deeper to her music-making career, even though it had been put on perpetual hold.
“While those who could were fleeing The City, I was checking online sites like NextDoor and Craigslist, because people were giving away all of their hobby instruments, like, ‘Hey — we’re moving to the country and just trying to get rid of stuff!’” says Slankard, 39, not wanting to sound opportunistic.
“And I occasionally forget how to play them, so sometimes my ‘Tea Time’ is a complete disaster,” she admits. But now her Patreon community has grown so warm and comfortable that they all regularly hang out together in pre-show Zoom meetings, where she can ask for their friendly advice on current works in progress, like songs or their attendant videos. “So I look at my subscribers more as friends now,” she adds.
