I turn 32 today. As a gift to myself, I’m releasing a new @thenightprior song on Friday. It’s the project that’s nearest to my soul, but always at the end of my to-do list. Fittingly, this song (like many of the others in this upcoming batch) is about getting older, and the things you leave behind along the way. Thanks for rockin’ with me.

I’m not gonna lie, I thought my drumming career might be over. After 2020, my bands had fizzled out. I stopped practicing. I sold most of my gear. I couldn’t afford to keep my rehearsal space. I’d moved on to other endeavors and, for the first time in my life, thought that playing the drums might be a thing of the past. Then @tonyrauser called. He wasn’t ready to give up on The Hunt, a side project we’ve been nursing in the background for 14 years. He wanted to give it one more shot. And he wanted to do it BIG. I couldn’t say no. So I started training. I got my playing chops back up. I saved up to buy my dream @pearl_drums kit. We took the demos I thought were lost forever and spent 18 months turning them into the baddest songs I’ve ever played on. And we’re finally sharing them with the world. Our new single Erratic premiered in Metal Injection. We played to a packed house at our first LA show in 7 years. The Hunt isn’t just back. We’re better than ever. And I’m right where I belong.

Vocalist | Terrestria | 2020-2025 I’m immensely proud of the music and memories we built over the past four years, but my life has evolved in a way that simply can’t support the number of endeavors I’m lucky enough to be a part of. I remain Terrestria’s biggest fan, and wish the boys only the best as they begin again. I joined the band in 2020 with an emerging but shaky confidence in my singing ability, and a fear of being so exposed after years of hiding behind the drum kit. @terrestriamusic allowed me to discover my voice and become a true frontman. The material pushed me as a musician in ways I didn’t know were possible. I’m eternally grateful for the experience, and most importantly, for the friendships and musical brotherhood I formed with @sounds_like_jack and @r_darlinggg . Some of my favorite moments with the band: ➡️ January 2022 - Our first IRL photoshoot and the first time all three of us met in person. ➡️ July 2022 - Our first band practice. We were so giddy. ➡️ May 2024 - Opening for @seaintheskymusic - some of my oldest Bay Area musical homies - in San Diego. ➡️ November 2020 - One of many band early band meetings we had over Zoom. ➡️ April 2021 - Recording the debut album. I’d injured my voice pretty bad in late 2020. It felt so good to be back ripping. ➡️ May 2023 - Filming The Renegade music video in downtown Los Angeles. ➡️ October 2022 - In the studio recording A Liminal Space. ➡️ November 2022 - Our first show ever. A skate shop in San Bernardino. My first live performance as a lead vocalist. ➡️ September 2023 - Playing @chainreactionca for our first time, such an iconic venue in Anaheim, and seeing @dansaltz bobbing around the stage while the mosh pit started. ➡️ January 2022 - Shooting with @analiesecausey in Malibu! She’s done so much creative work for Terrestria, she deserves a huge shoutout. ➡️ May 2024 - My last show with the band, returning to Chain Reaction. We were locked in. ➡️ October 2023 - Getting to share the stage and microphone with one of my best friends on guest vocals. We opened for @nightverses at @1720warehouse that night. ➡️ August 2020 - The DM that started it all. There’s nothing left but light hereafter.

20 years ago today, I split the cost of my first drum set with my dad. Though I’m not behind the kit as often as I used to be, I’m eternally grateful for the people and places this instrument has introduced me to, from dive bars and backyard shows to stadiums and festivals (+ everywhere in between). 📸 @annesophiebine

Happy birthday, Shara. You’ve made our lives infinitely better and our apartment vacuuming cadence infinitely more frequent. Eight is great. All the yogurt today.

@arswain__ was kind enough to let me play drums in between sips of PBR at @rialtobozeman last week. This show marked the first time Freddy and I shared a stage since 2009 (last photo) and was special to say the least. Arswain’s new album — “Lick From The Sink” — is available now, and we’re hitting the stage again on May 14 at @zebulonla to celebrate. Outstanding visuals courtesy of: @dylan_epstein @layne_chamberlin

Introducing Shara, lover of lounging, squirrel skeptic, window watcher, reluctant runner, seven years old, 100% ham and No. 1 in our hearts.
