Poem 14/52— “From Blossoms” by Li-Young Lee.
This has been one of my favorite poems for over a decade now. A masterful ode to summer and its fruits. Also a fantastic sex poem. Try it 🍑

Working up some traditional tunes to be playing around the late night jams @shakorihillsgrassroots
Looking forward to making tons of noise with @bigfurband & the fellas in @_fescue_ both on and offstage.
Btw, a huge bow of gratitude to @mavisstaples for her rendition of this song she put out last year. Go listen to that album if you haven’t already.
If you’ve bought one of these poetry books I’ve been hawking the last few months, you probably need to fix the typo in the title of this poem. They say that everything humans make must have a mistake in it so that the evil spirits can get out.
Nonetheless, I’ve almost sold through this first batch, and I’ve got another print coming without that typo (I’m sure there’s other mistakes somewhere in them, though). I’ll have them for sale @shakorihillsgrassroots next weekend, and anywhere you might catch me rambling.
I hope you’re blossoming along with the season, friends.

We’re pumped to play our favorite fest @shakorihillsgrassroots in a couple weeks. So grateful and excited to make noise with my friends in @bigfurband
BIG FUR is kicking off the entire fest on the Meadow Stage, Thursday evening at 6pm.
The next day, we’ll be playing the Grove Stage 3:45-5pm. This set’s gonna be something special, I promise. Time to get weird and beam some Walt Whitman energy into the crowd.
If you’re on the fence about going to this Shakori, get off it, get your feet in the grass and come dance around with us.
🌞🌻🌸🥰🤘🏽
We’re excited to welcome live music from Old Sap to this year’s Spring Bloom.

Poem 13/52— “Instructions on Not Giving Up” by @adalimonwriter
We’ve had some amazing poet laureates, but Idunno man, Ada Limón is just one of those poets who shows you how extraordinary the ordinary can be when you put it into beautifully thoughtful words.

We are just a month out from @shakorihillsgrassroots and we have some very special stuff planned!!! We are so honored to be kicking the festival off on the main stage THURSDAY at 6PM right before our gracious hosts @officialdonnathebuffalo go on. Then on FRIDAY at 3:45PM at the grove stage, BIG FUR will be backing up our dear friend @old.sap to play a bunch of tunes from his new record “Marble Home.” We can’t wait to get groovy with all our favorite people in our favorite place 🎶❤️🎶
Poem 12/52—a couple stanzas from “The Windy City” by Carl Sandburg.
This is one of my favorite poems, and Sandburg is a hero. I intend to memorize this whole section of the poem, but for now, enjoy these lines.
#poetrymemorizationchallenge #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth #carlsandburg
Got a fun week ahead, starting with the mid-day music lounge @wgnnews Tuesday 3/31. If you’re in Chicagoland, tune in between 11:30am and noon for my TV debut!
Wednesday, I’m stopping across the river from Cincy to play @upover_mainstrasse If you got friends in the area, send em over at 8 o clock.
Then I’m back in WNC. Friday @lookoutbrewing playing with the excellent @therealquinnsternberg & @obshaneob
Finally closing the week out in Hot Springs @bigpillowbrewing Easter Sunday 2-5pm. This is the first in a monthly series I’ll be playing this year at everyone’s favorite watering hole just off the AT.
Come catch me somewhere, I’m flying.
“Nadine” is one of the songs on my new album “Marble Home.” I promise it’s good to make risotto to, or dance in the grass with.
