🤎 RYE WHITTERS GEAR 🤎 .. and just like that everything is different. Born Dec 4th on a cold moon supermoon with a true knot, we have no doubt Uncle D held you close in his heavenly arms before handing you off to us on the mortal side. The cliche really is true - we don’t know what we ever did without you here. We can’t wait to see who you become. Thank you to all our friends and family who’ve checked in on us these last few weeks… the boy is already so well-loved. Welcome to the world, our sweet son.
Couldn’t be more stoked to write this next chapter, or more proud to usher this revered label into a new era alongside the mighty John Janick’s @interscope and my good pal @bobbyknotts - GET LOST! @losthighwayrecords
I’ve been a lot of things to Vincent Mason over the last couple of years—publisher, A&R, producer, etc. and he’s consistently been one of my favorite voices both as a singer and songwriter and one of my favorite people to swap and share records and explore influences with. Got to go back down so many rabbit holes with this album sonically.
@vincentmason - Honored to have had the opportunity to be at the helm of helping craft your debut LP and so stoked to see your star rise and you rise to the occasion. Only one shot to put your name on the map!
Couldn’t have happened without the wizards @loganmatheny@bretttruitt@plyman@alysonmcanally@chris_lacorte and the raddest buncha AFM friends and the best team.

Another @ragbrai in the books (my 5th!). Weather was brutal (corn sweat heatwave & thunderstorms) but 406 unplugged miles, no free beer passed up, and hangs with family/friends/strangers was 👌🏻. 3rd time with @tractorpull.z 5th with @monte.dirks and 1st with baby sister @meggie_gear

Time is a thief. Feels like just yesterday we were jivin to “life is a highway” on cassette in Aunt @miajosaphine bedroom. Happy 40th big brother. @firstgear.85 ! Been looking up to you for 37 years. I remember riding to high school with you freshman year every morning in your Honda Prelude - feeling so cool. Thanks for all the hand me downs - clothes & advice. You’re one step ahead of me in so many ways - specifically in the receding hairline. Love you bro! Stoked to celebrate with you soon.
Another fish post for the grid. Great family trip, and ultimate catch (last pic). Thanks for being great hosts, Aunt Cheryl & Uncle Tom! ✌🏻Charleston.
