Congrats to @antonjamesmusic on this gem being released out into the world! I always love working with @johnny2mix and we’ve been working on this one for a while! 🙌 Repost from @johnny2mix • Stoked to announce the release of "show me your truth" by Anton James! Was an absolute blast to produce this record with you @antonjamesmusic Special thanks: @frickinanna @livlumamusic @johnbaldwinmusic @kyle.obrien.music For lending your ears and talents. Such a pleasure to work with and know you all.

@alisonrisingmusic !! So excited for you! Thanks for asking for my hand in helping you get this off the ground! #masteringengineer • I’m so excited to finally share the first single off my upcoming debut album to all streaming services this Friday, June 30th! PSA: It makes a difference when Spotify listeners pre-save, because it tells the algorithms that a release is notable enough for playlisters and for the algorithm to put into listeners’ recommendations. It would mean the world to me if y’all join in on the fun! It’s easy and free! Just click the link in bio - and listen on Friday when it’s available everywhere. “Blue-Eyed Warrior” tells a story reminiscent of loss and a yearning for something warm and beautiful in your life to replace that loss. I have to thank all the musicians that made this song really shine: Kyle Donovan - co-producer, recording & mixing engineer, background vocals Taylor Sims - electric guitar & background vocals Bradley Ryan Morse - bass guitar Kevin Matthews - drums Carson Keeter - pedal steel guitar Eric Moon - organ Anna Frick - mastering @frickinanna 📸 @blake_welch_art

Thank you to @allysoundmastering for mastering, and @zoemoff @pinkpetals.llc for recording us❤️‍🔥 #21stcenturypagan #fallingaway #changingshape #denvermusic #localmusic #denver

I have been **soo patiently** waiting for this album to be released. It literally brought me to tears while working on it… especially the title track. Like stop-working-sit-on-the-floor-of-the-studio crying. It’s beautiful, @hiltnerj , simply. Congrats, friend. I am forever in awe of you, and have been since the day we met, and it is such a great honor to have been a part of this art. Thank you. 🙏 • 1️⃣9️⃣9️⃣2️⃣ is here!!!!! While this may be a solo record, it certainly isn’t a solitary one. I couldn’t have made it without all of these amazing people creating space for me in bluegrass, in Nashville, in country, in Appalachia. I wish I could tag all of you!!! [SWIPE for Thank Yous ➡️] This record is dedicated to all of the folks I’m lucky enough to call community. To call family. Especially my chosen family. I couldn’t have made this record without women and femmes. I couldn’t have made this record without queer folks. I couldn’t have made this record without Black and Brown and Indigenous folks making this instrument and influencing and inspiring these genres. Even with a demonstrably solo album, I am standing on mighty, unconquerable, brave, transgressive, revolutionary shoulders. Let’s never lose sight of that. Thank you all for everything.
