Finally watched ‘Come Worry With Us‘, a 81 minute documentary directed by Helene Klodawsky released back in 2013. It follows violinist Jessica Moss and singer/guitarist Efrim Menuck of internationally acclaimed Montreal-based band Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra, as they struggle to balance parenthood with making music and touring. They are one of a growing number of bands to have accepted an infant (Efrim and Jessica’s son, Ezra) into their touring life. Making a living has never been more difficult for musicians: a downloading generation has shattered the economics of the music industry, and constant touring has become synonymous with economic survival.
