Hey Connor Barwin, how much does it burn that you’re going to miss The War On Drugs playing your fourth annual Make the World Better Foundation benefit at the Dell Music Center on Thursday?
“It’s tough, man,” says the former Philadelphia Eagle and indie rock fan whose annual MTWB shows have raised money to rebuild city parks and recreation centers since 2014, when Kurt Vile headlined the first one at Union Transfer.
When the Adam Granduciel’s The War On Drugs come to the Dell on Thursday for their first hometown show since the release of their majestic, wholly impressive new album A Deeper Understanding, Barwin will be otherwise occupied, 3000-plus miles away.
