With all the sh** and snow going on in America right now, I’m just trying to take myself back to a happy place, like the 808 stage at Indy CD & Vinyl (which is a stage I’d love to return) at the Musical Family Tree showcase, while channeling my anger into a new song.

First full band show of the year was at the historic Melody Inn in Indy. It was a fantastic evening and we were part of a great lineup.

New Substack just dropped → How Political Deconstruction Made Me a Songwriter.
I’m talking about scripture, justice, doubt, leaving politics behind, and how that journey helped me find my voice as an artist.
Give it a read and let me know what resonates with you.

“The ghosts behind the music…”
With Ghost Stories dropping on Friday, Aug. 15, I thought I’d share some notes I took, lines I wrote down, inspirations I had during the writing process for the song itself.

Touring isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes it’s long drives, cheap meals, and $50 gigs hundreds of miles from home. But it’s also new friends, unexpected highlights, and stories you’ll tell for the rest of your life. I wrote about what I gained, lost, and learned on my first indie tour.
