“It’s never too late to write another song, to blow it all up or burn it all down” 🕯️ I almost hung it up more times than I care to admit. This song is the reason I didn’t. It’s the title track of my new EP (coming this July) and it’s for anyone in the “middle” of the grind, the late nights and the stubborn belief that the work matters. ✍️ Drop a comment if you’re still out here doing the thing too. I want to know who’s with me.

Nice few mins with the 12 today. Let’s call this passage the “Callery Raga”. Inspired by the Pyrus Calleryana out in full force this week.

Played a show right next to the original gym where Mike Tyson trained in the 90s! It’s still a functioning boxing gym. @rtraster has just joined the tour on electrical guitars. Tonight we play Baltimore (@manormill ) monkton and tmrw Saturday we are back in the berkshires at @buttonballbarn in South Egremont. A real nice acoustic tour so far behind “have a thing miss your moment wait for the revival” LP. Soon full band action in Madison, milwaukee, chicago, appleton.
