Part of why we put this concert together is to honor the lives and legacies of my grandmother Nanny and Hailey’s grandmother Nettie.
They never got the chance to meet and passed away a couple years apart, but their birthdays were one day apart (Nanny April 29th and Nettie April 30th (happy birthday Nettie 🌻))
Three years ago today, Hailey and I traveled to Albuquerque for a close friend’s wedding. To honor our grandmothers’ birthdays, we bought their favorite flowers (Nanny white roses and Nettie sunflowers) and trekked to the top of the Albuquerque mountains to lay them to rest, and to give them each the chance to watch the sunset with their new best friend.
Since then, we’ve made it a tradition to leave sunflowers and white roses wherever we go, and Hailey even wrote an absolutely beautiful song called “flowers on a mountainside” about our grandmothers to document the occasion. I had the pleasure to sing co-lead vocals on it, and them writing about our families is one of the sweetest things anyone’s ever done for me.
Hear it live on the news and in concert on May 7th, see you there 🌻🤍🌹
