April 20, 2020

Legendary country singer Willie Nelson and sons, Lukas and Micah, sit down for an inspiring performance of ‘Turn Off The News And Build a Garden.’
As COVID-19 forces many people to remain in their homes, it can cause a lot of fear and anxiety. The message of this song reminds us all that there is still good all around us.
“Turn off the news and build a garden
Just my neighborhood and me
We might feel a bit less hardened
We might feel a bit more free”

From a very young age, Lukas developed a love for music. He knew that he wanted to turn this passion into a career and began writing his own songs and playing guitar when he was barely a teen.
Now, he’s a successful artist with a band of his own and the incredible talent to back it all up. And what a treat to hear him perform with his talented family!
A Nelson Family Performance
Today, Willie Nelson and his sons, Lukas and Micah, come together for this special quarantine rendition of ‘Turn Off The News And Build A Garden.’
“Turn off the news and raise the kids
Give them something to believe in
Teach them how to be good people
Give them hope that they can see
Hope that they can see”
In these troubling times, it’s important to remember the simple things in life and how much joy and hope can come from these small moments.
