This guy is looking for a home if any Nashville folks want a sweet kitty. He’s headed to the Franklin animal shelter this afternoon. I found him about 2 weeks ago on my property and someone else has him now but they can’t keep him either. He’s very friendly, box trained, newly neutered/vaccinated.
We’re playing a rare show next weekend, opening for some ex students of Don’s (who are crazy talented) here in Nashville. Tix link in bio. Hope to see some of you there!
Happy birthday 🎂and Ep release @ruby.chaffer ! 🥰 💿
I ❤️ this little charming, very Wes Anderson-y homage to his films. 😘You killed it. 🔪For those following along, the movies related to the songs are 1. Moonrise Kingdom 2. The Royal Tenenbaums, 3. The Life Aquatic 4. Asteroid City
(Also, She’s Gone gets me. every. time.)
This remains my fave “I voted” sticker.
At 10 ish I was the only person voting at my polling place. (Not mad about missing the early/late rush)
Was a damn delight to get to vote for 4 folks, 3 of whom happened to be women.
🤞Gloria, Maryam, Jason and Kamala. And here’s to democracy & cooler heads prevailing during this ugly time of course. 🤞🤘🙏 ‘Merica
@donchaffer and I are playing a free show a week from today in NYC (woot!) @calstgnyc , along with the ever talented artists @jasongraymusic@philjoelofficial@iamaaroncole for the @newheavennewearthsongs project we’ve been a part of for the last couple of years. Let’s take care of the only earth we’ve been given folks! One of the most important (and sacred) things we can do to care for each other. Tix in linktree.
New song alert! It’s been so bonkers around here I spaced posting about this 🫣🤦♀️😩. Written w @hannahmillermusic who is also 🤘🔥on vocals, produced by moi, mixed by @donchaffer , mastered by @joehutchinson .

A couple years ago @larry.stephan emailed me about a musician friend of his in Trinidad who was looking for a producer, and he thought I would be a good fit. (Thanks Larry!) The first time I listened to @candacecokermusic I cried, not only because I was really moved, but also bc she’s just so incredibly good and her music was so refreshing and new. Thankfully, I got to produce her first full length record, Bare and Bones, full of incredible songwriting and vocals (check it out 😉). We recorded long distance and to this day we’ve never met in person. 😢 She recorded a lot of her vocals in her car covered in blankets with a @uaudio volt and a cloudlifter (Yep you read that right! Artists, where there’s a will there’s a way). I’m so proud of this album. The folks at @utrmedia just named it their #2 album of 2023 and even gave me a shoutout for the production. Congrats Candace and thanks UTR! (And @donchaffer for the stellar guidance and mixing prowess : )
Excited for these next 2 nights singing a couple songs with old friends @caedmonscall & @iamjillphillips@theryman . Both a blast AND blast from the past! TIX still available for Monday night’s show last I heard. Also, live stream tix tonight.
