Nashville based singer-songwriter Avi Kaplan, today, releases an EP featuring his moving version of the late Bill Withers classic “Lean On Me.” This release marks Kaplan’s first new music since the debut of his acclaimed I’ll Get By EP, produced by Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes, First Aid Kit) and released earlier this year by Fantasy Records. The single is released alongside alternate versions of Kaplan's previous singles.
A portion of the proceeds from Lean On Me will be donated to the Equal Justice Initiative, who are working hard to end racial inequality in all aspects of the criminal justice system.
“‘Lean On Me’ is one of my favorite songs, written by one of my favorite artists of all time, the incomparable Bill Withers. I arranged it for my most recent tour in hopes of inspiring the people who heard me sing it to look beyond their political or religious beliefs, color of skin, social class, and anything that could possibly divide us as a human race and come together. To lean on each other in troubling times. Since tour was canceled times have only become more troubled. I’m releasing this song in hopes of it being a reprieve for anyone suffering during all of this as I feel music is truly the best medicine."
