most of our milestones as artists are centered around playing to huge audiences. recording In The Blue Light feels way more personal and is prolly the most full circle moment of my career. iāve been going to shows at
@bluenotenyc since I was a teenager and dreaming about one day playing there, so it was the first thing that came to mind when I started rehearsing with this phenomenal band for my tiny desk last year. to bring this project to life in that spaceāwith that energy, that deep sense of connectionāwas next level magic. wanna take a moment to acknowledge the incredibly talented people I made this with:
