SURPRISE! We’re headed back on the road next week bc @goldieboutilier is opening for @katyperry on the UK leg of ‘The Lifetimes’ arena tour!!!!!😳😳🇬🇧🎸
If you keep swiping, you’ll see some of my only pictures from 2008 at the @vanswarpedtour in Toronto where Katy played the Hurley stage in the pouring rain to a very small crowd of wet emo kids, my 16 year old self included lol. That specific Warped Tour solidified my dreams (and we’re fkin doing it kid!!!!)
SEE Y’ALL AGAIN SOON!🖤🇬🇧
MERCI @festivaleteqc !!!!! OVER 70,000 PEOPLE. THIS WAS A DREAM COME TRUE🖤🖤🖤🎸🎸🎸
@goldieboutilier you are a star and I’m so honoured to share the stage with you and our friends and make the little girls in us proud💖 AND TO SHARE THE STAGE WITH @marenmorris AND @shaniatwain LIKE WHAAAAAT🤯
I am so grateful for this life. I thought I peaked in my 20s and I was very afraid for a long time that putting down the guitar professionally and working in artist management at the level I did was the biggest thing I was ever going to do. How would I go up from there? But I was wrong. I went back to my roots and even though it seemed impossible I followed my gut and stuck to this because I FKIN LOVE IT. I have been busting my little fingers for 21+ years and never gave up - NEITHER SHOULD YOU🫀

I co-wrote, guitar’d, bass’d, and vocal produced this super fun pop-punk rager by @laurenelizabethash with the friggin homies @zomcmillan@brobwankenobi ❤️🔥 big ups to @snellular5 on the mix and @kristianmontano on the master!
(Fun fact, one of the guitars I played on this record was Robbie’s TV yellow LPJ. I then proceeded to drool, forget a change of pants, and manifested that LPJ for myself a year later😻)
It was awesome to hear people sing FAFO in the crowd at Lauren’s Mod Club show in November last year before it was even out yet and it’s finally here! NOW PICK SOMEONE TO BE ANGRY AT AND GO SCREAM THIS IN YOUR CAR! 🖤
And that’s a wrap on the “King of Possibilities” Tour! Thank you mother @goldieboutilier and thank you to ginger shots, Newport menthol golds, mad libs, queso, Delta 9, poke bowls, sparkly bras, emergency chickens, stage hands with weed, emo karaoke in the van, and the screams and love from the fans at every show❤️🔥
Our whole crew rocks so hard I LOVE US!!😭🖤 Here are some of my fav shots from the stage! 🎸 SEE YALL AGAIN THIS SUMMER!

thank you endlessly to @gibsonguitar & @adri_roddy for inviting me to the Gibson private artist showroom in LA before our show to play literally whatever guitar I wanted and for sending me home with 2 of my dream guitars for my tour arsenal - a cream 70s Flying V and a LP Junior special in TV yellow😭😭 I am so grateful for the love you’ve shown me🖤🖤🖤
(fun fact: the acoustic I’m playing here is the actual acoustic guitar Bradley Cooper played in ‘A Star is Born’)
