Bill Callahan's live record Resuscitate was recorded in Chicago at Thalia Hall on his US tour last year. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to open his whole tour with @pascalkeronga , @a_basini , @artsaucyy , and @sunrise_get_down . It was an unforgettable experience! When we got to Chicago, Bill asked me to play with him on his last song Planets. I completely improvised my performance, and now it is immortalized in this fantastic record! This is the first time I've ever been on a record, and it will certainly not be the last! #music #billcallahan #album #resuscitate #livealbum

šŸŽ„šŸŽ¬ Problem Child music video - NPR Tiny Desk shoot with Pariseli. Arranging this drum part was one of my favorites flowing off the lyrics and dramatizing the push and pull of the song. Huge shoutout to the audio engineer Russell @audiosauruss and the film crew @iamc_rose with all the lighting and cameras.

Truly missing @theskylarklounge — one of the real gems of Austin. So many historic venues that made this city what it is have been closing down, one by one… and it’s heartbreaking to watch. This clip is from an interview I did for The Mud Podcast, created by @goldiepipes back in 2023. Big love to you and the whole team for capturing those moments. And to @nathanielballinger — thank you for holding down the keys, always. šŸŽ¹ . . . #Music #Musician #SingerSongwriter #Artist #CreativeLife #IndependentArtist #IndieMusic #SoulMusic #RealTalent #PerformanceLife #LiveMusic #ViralReels #FYP #TrendingNow #Inspirational #Storyteller #Artistry #PassionProject #MusicCommunity #MusicLovers #BehindTheScenes #OnTheRise #DreamChaser #IDreamInColor #PascalKerongA #KerongAAcademy
