Renowned artist Ron English’s music group The Rabbbits is releasing a tribute song and video for Daniel Johnston as part of the Hi How Are You Day celebrations January 22, 2021
Artist Ron English and Cold Spring-based producer Joe Johnson began their relations with the late Daniel Johnston in Austin Texas in the mid 1980’s. Joe produced “Continued Story” for Daniel, his first real studio album, and Ron collaborated with Daniel on art and music until his passing. Daniel and Ron had a short-lived band with their mutual friend Jack Medicine called the Hyperjinx Tricycle.
For the past few years Joe and Ron have been working on a musical project called The Rabbbits that uses a collection of prominent singers and musicians to create a fantasy world of anthropomorphic animals who sing their way through life in an underground utopia called Delusionville.
Ron and Joe wrote a tribute song to honor their dear friend on his holiday, January 22, Hi How Are You Day.
Featured performer Rowan Parsaca is a talented teenaged singer from Beacon, NY, who has played the character Love Combrat in the Rabbbits productions since she was in middle school.
The video features art that Ron and Daniel created together over the years.
