Last month, I had the incredible honor of opening for
@robbiebtw at his fundraiser event Crescendo✨
After 9 years of performing solo serenades I finally got a chance to break the mold and try something new. I put my guitar down for the first time and holy shit what an experience!
The stage is a funny place because it feels like I am all alone standing up there and yet on display for everyone to see how alone I am. I’ve been used to seeing the stage is it cold isolated bubble surround by shroud of thousand eyes silently judging in the dark, but recently I’m feeling more at home and I’m learning to transcend that barrier. I love it and I’m learning a lot.

But of all that I have learned so far, one thing stands out from the rest. Take note fellow performers:
If you inform people at the beginning of your show that you will not be taking off your pants, you can count on them to beg and heckle you for the entire performance to do just the exact opposite. That is to say, I kept my pants on but wow you all really only seem to care about one thing. Hysterical. Bless you all. What an audience! What an example of fun humans=)

This night was special because it made me realize that I always want to be surrounded by heart centered, creative, fun and sassy people on this journey as a performing artist. The audience, this community, and everyone who gave there time and energy to make this happen inspire me. Thank you! This models exactly the kind of cult I want to build around my music. Join me 😈
