I WILL NOT BE PURIFIED - Sophie Strand + Amanda Palmer + Gracie and Rachel

Written and read by Sophie Strand live at at Amanda Palmer's O+ Festival Benefit at The Old Dutch Church in Kingston, NY, August 13, 2022. Accompanying live music by Amanda Palmer & Gracie and Rachel.

O+ is an organization that empowers communities to take control of their collective wellbeing through the exchange of art, music, and wellness.​ During the festival, underinsured artists and musicians create and perform in exchange for a variety of services donated by doctors, dentists and complementary care providers. Find out more, and support, at https://opositivefestival.org.

Musicians and writers are empowering themselves to make fertile soil in which to make art. Weird projects like this - how on earth can something like this make a "profit"? - exist by the grace of patronage via patreon.com/amandapalmer. Please consider becoming a patron - for as little as $1 per month - so that we can continue to make soulful art from the heart that has no home in the ordinary commercial marketplace. And to the 10,000+ patrons who funded this undertaking, we all thank you deeply.
