✨A few weeks ago I performed in Pittsburgh Plays Queen at Thunderbird Music Hall here in Pittsburgh👨🏻🦱🎤I’ve sung a lot of shows in my life. This was one of the most special! 💜Performing that material to a packed hometown venue 2 nights in a row 🤍oooh girl what a feelin ✨🎸Thanks 2 everyone who came to the shows, all the organizers, producers, sound & lighting gurus, venue, and the 30+ incredible artists with whom I had the privilege to work on this show🤘🏽So much love and fun vibes up in the T-bird.
How do you hype yourself up for high energy performances? This is mainly directed at musicians and singers, but could also apply to others. Tell me your tricks, tips and hacks! #vocalist #livemusic #energized
This is from when @balloonridefantasy played Pittsburgh’s indie station @913wyep in 2018. I enjoyed this performance so much more than our first time there because this time, we’d started using IEMs and I had a better understanding of singing backups and live sound 🎤Much love to WYEP for their support over the years.
New Balloon Ride Fantasy music is coming, btw 🪩🎹🎸🌸

My Wild Horses cover🐴 full version on my YouTube (in my bio).
Lol did I put too much reverb on in post? I usually record these with my phone but this time I used an actual camera and basic studio mic. I used to play this song a lot. Can’t remember if I’ve ever played it live. #therollingstones #wildhorses #acousticcovers #behringer #martinguitar
Foster cat that I’m attached to. This is the second winter in a row that the universe called me to rescue a cat from dire circumstances. She’s taken safe haven in my music studio for the past month or so. She’s a big part of the vocals I’ve been recording during that time. Infusing them all with mystical cat magic🪄🐾🎙️🤍
I’m recording vocals today for a song that’s ever so slightly Goonies inspired and ever so slightly Pete’s Dragon inspired. The OG 1977 Pete’s Dragon. Anyways, I’m trying to post more often but I’m not doing a very good job here. I’ve been so busy and real life has been more compelling. But I’ll keep trying. I know you guys want more pics of me looking this good🥴
Current influences include @auroramusic@phantogram@e_e_@paramore@turnstileluvconnection@tovelo and being a cat mum🐾🍦
This is the newest to our crew, Khaleesi. She’s adapting well to studio cat lyfe😺🎙️She’s 9 years old, freakin loves to snuggle and she will bite you if you pet her wrong. She survived a house fire in January and has been limping through life with a broken leg for the past 2 years. Loves a tasty treat. My kind of girl.

I love this photo from years ago by Joe Pucciarelli @loop.pics 📷 Joe was my first photographer friend. I met him when he hosted the first open mic I ever went to by myself, on the Southside of Pittsburgh, at a place whose name escapes me. If you ever get a chance to work with Joe, you should!
