It may feel like the world is falling to pieces. It’s felt a lot like that for a full year now. But let’s not forget that many of us have felt that way previously– including not terribly long ago when Donald Trump was first elected to office and liberal counties across the country freaked out in manners comparable to those of the terrestrials in War of the Worlds.
Kurt Deemer, a Baltimore native and experienced rock performer, remembers that period well. In fact, he was able to channel his specific reaction to that event, as well as to other unsettling occurrences in modern history, into a new batch of tunes that he’s collectively titled World Upside Down and whose thematic content reflects just that.
