Macklemore, Peter Buck, Julien Baker Contribute Addiction Stories For Music Heals Day

Hitting the Right Notes –

May 28, 2018 – Macklemore, R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament and Julien Baker were among the musicians who contributed to influential Seattle public radio station KEXP’s recent “Music Heals: Addiction & Recovery” programming event. The station hosted a full 15 hour block of programming on May 24 dedicated to stories of addiction and recovery from high-profile musicians, KEXP staff and listeners. Macklemore, the Grammy Award-winning rapper behind such hits “Glorious” and “Good Old Days,” had a history of binge drinking and an addiction to OxyContin. “You’re not alone in your struggle,” he told KEXP. “There are recovery communities all around the world that are there for you, that need you. We need each other in this fight against addiction. We need to hear that experience of what it’s like right now to keep us who are currently in recovery sober.”
