Raury is creating-through his aesthetic and self–presentation-a modern–day Woodstock revival, more concerned with community than profit. There, he plays stripped down versions of his discography with just a guitar and his voice, nothing between himself and the audience. Now, he invites his fans to "COME TO THE WOODS," as his promotional posters blare. His concerts nowadays are rarely onstage. The artist may love the fans, but the management and label don't," he said, "So the relationship between the fan and artist is built like god and worshipper when it should be artist serving the people." In an interview from last year, Raury bemoaned the lack of true connection between the artist and the fans when record labels intervene as the middle man.
