How Artists Can Navigate Staying Sober With a Little Help From Their Friends (And Peloton)

Marcus King shares how 1 Million Strong and Curfew Fellowship Fund have helped him foster a community for saying sober, especially on the road.

We’ve lost many of the greats to addiction – Hank Williams, Billie Holliday, Townes Van Zandt, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse – and not having the right resources and community in place to support them. This initiative is working with artists, festivals, and venues to create community and engaging sober experiences, encourage open conversation about addiction, and give support for those impacted by substance use. I’d like to believe if Curfew, Hank, Billie, Townes or any of the other greats we’ve lost to addiction had access to a sober, supportive community equipped to help them wrestle their demons, their careers and their lives would have been longer.
