Healing Through Music: J Lind

For J Lind music is fundamentally a form of medicine. It can brighten your day, soothe anxieties, make you cry or laugh. Through his journey with music, he’s seen dementia patients come alive when they hear an old favorite song, connected with others, and been able to further understand his own experiences. His first EP “I Don’t Know” directly engages with medical narratives he heard while visiting folks in hospice while his second album “For What It’s Worth” also tackles medical narrative but through a more abstract and experimental lens. His music encourages listeners to think about their experiences in another light: as a means of recognizing what others are going through in the hopes of creating a more caring community.
