Somewhere between all the songwriting and studio sessions, I found myself in the sunshine state for a week, culminating in a performance at the South Florida Folk Festival. It’s a bit delicious to walk barefoot through sand and surf in early February.

Although I could never give up the immeasurable beauty of the moon reflecting off freshly-fallen snow all night long. That glow has kept me company as I’ve laid awake, thinking about upcoming tours and recording logistics and funding and marketing plans and all the waking dreams of creating new art. I’ve got more new songs to share and I’ll be bringing them on the road in March to New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Hope to see you along the way.

I kicked off the twenty twenties singing a new song live on WFMT in Chicago, sharing the stage and the airwaves with a room full of musicians and music fans.

I spent the rest of January hard at work at home and in the studio, writing new songs and getting ready to record my next album. All this time to create has felt decadent, frivolous, selfish even. It was such a rare opportunity to experiment, to fail, to improvise, to collaborate, and to revel in it all. This new project will start to come together over the next few months, but in between I’ll be hitting the road again for some live shows. See you in Florida in February!
