On October 16, people from all over Pennsylvania and New Jersey gathered in Tannersville for our Community Action Conference and Concert.
Various nonprofit organizations presented about ways they help their communities, followed by a performance by Sanders and King’s We ’73 Band featuring Cats Dragged In.
On October 16, 2021, we’re hosting our first live event! (Find details here)
This is an exciting time for us as we prepare, but we don’t think of it as the beginning of our work. Here’s some highlights we’ve hit already!
On Spotify alone, we’ve had over half a million streams of our music! (If you like exact numbers, it’s 587,614 between the Sanders and King’s We ’73 Band account and Will Sanders’s account.)
On YouTube, we’re hanging out around 839 subscribers. It may be a much lower number, but we’re grateful to every single person who has decided to hear more from us. We value the connection!
We count it a great privilege to share our music with people, so we’re excited to perform live in a week!
Until then, feel free to check out our tracks on our music site, ByLovesHand.com. Every purchase or stream helps us support community organizations!
Updates from July 2021—music video, concert updates, a special thanks, and more!
Updates as of 6/10/21:
-Over half the tickets for the Community Action Conference and Concert have been claimed! This means over 100 people are already planning to go, and we’re still 128 days out. You’ll want to grab your ticket before it’s gone! Find tickets here.
-Our YouTube channel has hit 145 subscribers, and our top video reached over 12,000 people. Whoa! Thank you so much to everyone who supports our music! (If you’d like to help us out, mind hitting that subscribe button? Once we get 1000 subscribers and 4000 public watch hours, we can take steps to monetize our videos so we can use those funds to support community organizations.)
-We’re days away from releasing the music video for By Love’s Hand. It comes out on June 12th, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Ask almost anybody and they’ll tell you—unity is out of reach. There are hate crimes, and people dying on the streets, and lives trapped by the horrors of poverty, abuse, and addiction. What’s worse, all anybody seems to do about it is argue. How can we expect people to unify?
We’d like to challenge that.
People on all sides of the political spectrum claim that American unity is dead.
But here at We ’73, we’re fighting for it harder than ever.
If you’ve been following us for a while, you may have noticed that our social media posts are tagged #ByLovesHand. Let’s talk about what that means.
In the series of current events America is facing, it seems as the ‘United States of America’ has become the ‘Divided States of America.’ Through many actions, protests, and violent attacks, the American people have created an invisible boundary between themselves, one that wasn’t there before.
To me, unity is about having a new perspective. I can hardly describe this new perspective in words alone, so let me tell you a story.
