may 7th, 2025 was the day we adopted Dottie girl from @hawaiianhumane !!! đĽšđĽłđž what a year itâs been with our funniest little goofball. we love you SOO much đđđ
Tennesse to Hawaiiâď¸
Recorded this song in Nashville and tracked the pedal steel in Honolulu. Did we know that the steel guitar originated in Hawaii? It might be one of my favorite instruments to track. Itâs like slicing through a tune in all the right ways.
Canât wait for you to hear the finish on 11â˘21â˘25

Finally made it to the @bluebirdcafetn to watch some friends of ours do their damn thing.
I donât really have the words yet⌠still processing the magic of that night. Besides great meetings in Nashville and writing some incredible songs with friends this was one of my favorite highlights this trip. Mahalo nui @adamhambrick@kellyarchermusic for the love and leaving us with a round to remember!
