I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to process this. I’m completely awed by the love and care that my band and crew put into this show, and the love that you all brought to @websterhall . This was overwhelming in the most profound way….I was surrounded by people I’ve known my entire life: all of our parents, our extended families, our chosen families, our live music world, my doctors, my neighbors, my childhood teachers, my professors….the list goes on and on. People flew from all over the country and the world just to share in the groove with us. I’m the luckiest person on the planet, and my gratitude meter is off the charts.
Thank you for rallying so monumentally hard for my biggest show yet, in my hometown. There aren’t enough words to convey the depths of my gratitude but please, from the bottom of my heart, know that I love you and WE did that together. I never, ever imagined I’d have the privilege to do what I love to this extent. Thank you for enabling me to do what I do and feel so supported in it. You made my biggest headlining show the most incredible night of my life.
I’m nothing without my posse and this community, and I’m convinced I have the nicest, coolest, funniest people in my orbit. It’s not lost on me for a second. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I hope you all had a fraction of as much fun as I did 💜🙏🏻💜

Joyride, my debut record, is out now. I’m crying tears of joy and relief and fear and disbelief as I board this plane to go play a festival today, knowing what we worked so hard on now belongs to you. It’s not in my protective clutches, on hard drives, being secretly and tirelessly worked on. It’s here, right now, and it’s yours. May it accompany you the way it’s accompanied me for the past few years - without judgement; with bravery to face the unknown, with the confidence to fuck around and find out. I love this record and I hope you will too.
The following people brought this record to life, and I am borderline speechless at how much care and consideration was taken into making it what it is. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
