Kunzman says, “I’m a genuine fan of Steff and I always felt that his live show is very similar to 18th & Addison’s. We’re both doing our best to bring people together to sing and forget all the division, confusion and frustration outside those four walls for a bit. I love the feeling of unity and togetherness “Redemption Song” offers so naturally, I felt that collaborating with him on this just had to happen.” Reed adds, “Tom and I met in Philadelphia, a few years back while we were both on tour. We stayed in touch and organically a friendship grew. One day Tom sent me a DM on Instagram with an idea to do a cover of Bob Marley’s iconic protest song, “Redemption Song” together. I have such admiration for Tom as an artist and musician, and I was excited to collaborate.” 18th & Addison is currently out on the road as part of The Reckless Love Tour: with Forever Starts Today.
