AVATAR

Waylaid from the road by the ongoing pandemic, Avatar frontman Johannes Eckerström reflects on the value and technique of playing rock shows live onstage. In a captivating personal essay, he traces his evolution as a performer, all the way from one of his first shows as a kid to his current band’s planned production for concerts in support of their new album, Hunter Gatherer. “Music is food, concerts are feasts and we are starving,” he writes. “I’m a restless chef with idle hands.”
