DISPATCH FROM EREBUS — PHILADELPHIA (COMPLETE EDITION) 

Filed from the road by Philip Lounsbury II, founder of Off The Streets Productions.
This edition of Field Dispatches from Erebus captures three restless days in Philadelphia: a golden-light arrival at 30th Street Station, the Liberty Bell locked behind federal gates, and a last-minute concert cancellation that exposed how fragile live-music infrastructure has become. What began as coverage of Black Pistol Fire at The Foundry turned into an essay on modern touring, media access, and resilience. From train rides to back-alley reflections, the dispatch follows one independent storyteller tracing grit, frustration, and faith across the American road.
