How Amanda Shires’ Streaming Web Series Is Building Community During Quarantine
“It’s a place to share and learn from one another,” Shires says. “I wanted it to be unrehearsed. There are a few people that would prefer we just play song, song, song, in a row, but we love talking with our friends and fans, and so many folks in the world have struggles with their relationships, or with their sobriety or with their mental health. So many people are isolated and sheltering in place at home alone right now.
“I struggled with whether I could even sing on camera, but then I started thinking about John, and it became a ‘What Would John Do’ kind of thing,” she says. “I didn’t know I had so many fans who were little girls that wanted to play fiddle, so I’ve been sending out strings to fans,” she says. “There’s also a 72-year-old woman named Martha who’s been a fan forever, and she’s been writing in about what she’d like to hear and I’m like, ‘Well, hell yeah, Martha. I’ll play whatever you want.’ There’s a real joy of interacting with folks, even though it’s on email. I didn’t have that before.
