Even though we live in a society that is ‘more connected’ than ever before, sometimes that ‘connection’ feels very lonely.
This song comes from the tension between our aloneness and togetherness, from the deep feelings that words can never quite do justice,
and from the paradox that - sometimes - being alone can make us feel intimately connected to ourselves and everyone else.
I’m really excited to be bringing this song, and a lot more brand new music, to my upcoming shows
at @earthworkhg Harvest Gathering (on Sunday Sep 17 at 7pm on the Barn Stage)
and in GRAND RAPIDS on September 30 at @themidtowngr Midtown at Studio Park! (wsg @lojajoh Loren Johnson opening!!)
And I’m truly grateful to have a KILLING group of musical comrades to bring these songs to life, including:
@xamlockwood@b.worder@hannahlainemusic@saxdaddyc@jeffmoehle@thebrandinoextravaganza@sammacooper
Thanks to Robby Fischer at @dogtownstudio for filming :)
See ya’ll out there!
It was a dream to catch this crew on film @dogtownstudio bringing so much energy and lightning to my song, “Indigo Sky”!
I feel super stoked to bring my music to life in several upcoming shows all around the state of Michigan THIS MONTH!
👀 Tour dates are at the end of the vid.
Feat.

Sometimes our expectations in love and relationships don’t quite align with what life has in store for us, and we all know how fun that is lol. This song speaks to the struggle of letting go and letting life lead…
