“That was the illusion. And when you cut through that illusion, when you wake up, then you see that you are connected, we’re always connected, and will always be connected, with everything and everybody.” -Mark Melchiorre Jr
TERRA FIRMA out now
I wrote the song in the winter of last year while visiting my parents in Devon. It was born from a short poem I wrote. I had been reading “Whale Day” by Billy Collins and it really inspired me. The way he can take a thought or moment so mundane or trivial and create feelings and images in the mind really moved me. He’s poetic but equally conversational, something I’ve always admired especially when it’s applied to music. I wrote a few stanzas then quickly began to start singing a melody in the room as I continued to write. I then started to play it live on my solo tour then was contacted by someone from the TV show “Chicago Med” who attended one of the shows and wanted to use the song. I explained I hadn’t recorded it yet and they kindly requested I did and so I recorded it with Jon Levine and Nick Perri who played all over my debut solo album. It’s a different direction for me but that’s a great thing. I always want to keep moving forward. As Gordon Lightfoot once said “motion is the potion”.
Last night I got to play with one of my favorite bands STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!! @stpband 🫶🏼 Thanks so much for having me Dean, Robert, Jeff, and Eric. I’m still buzzing from the jam and that dime’d AC30 ⚡️ My birthday week is off to a monumental start. Also, a hearty thanks to our tour manager and friend @cameron.scott.moore for this amazing video footage. The tour rolls on tomorrow in Charlotte NC!

Reunited with all my gear in Florida! See you in a few days at the Daytona International Speedway. We’re opening Thursday’s show bright and early before an up-and-coming band takes the stage later that night called Guns N’ Roses. Should be an ok time. See you there :)
What do we think, should I bring back soundcheck videos? This is part of our instrumental soundcheck in Mashantucket, CT. Next show is Daytona Beach FL on Thursday- where I will finally be reunited with my own gear. See you there! 🗡️ @dorothy
