Today I am very glad to share that my second album, Halcyon, has not only been written and recorded, but shall soon be released on June 26th. To celebrate the occasion, I have a new song and video, Hard, out now.
The songs on this album span a wild and unruly chapter of my life. So much has changed from the inside and out. From faded love to new beginnings, transcendent joys to deep quietude. In other words — the good stuff, the less good stuff, and everything in between.
We recorded Halcyon at Bell Choir Studios, in the basement of a church in Glendale, CA. Producer Tyler Chester masterfully guided the process of bringing these songs to life, and helped assemble a dizzying cast of some of the finest musicians to roam this earth. I’m still beside myself thinking about all the people who graced these songs with their tremendous gifts and hard-earned talent.
I suppose I’ll have more to say as we draw closer to release day, but for now I’ll simply express how grateful I am to everyone involved, anyone following along, and proud as hell to be here with another collection of songs to offer.
nothing here but love

halcyon is one week (and a day) old today <3
thanks to everyone who has spent some time with it, shared, reached out etc. i’m very glad to know it’s resonating for some of you out there. endless gratitude to the sorcerers of craft who helped bring it to life.
we’re keeping things rolling too, another tune coming in hot in a few weeks! #OY
Halcyon, the third single and title track of my next album, is out now.
this song (and recording) was a true labor of love and i’m so proud of how it finally landed. after several attempts we ended up recording this one at the house, graced by friends old and new playing together live in a room, to my Tascam 388 tape machine. we did additional overdubs at Adrian’s studio in Eagle Rock.
it’s a song about the long search for peace, and welcoming in the discomfort and struggle that comes with it. a perennial battle cry for when life is life-ing. this one really means a great deal to me and i’m so happy to finally share it. thank you for listening 💛💛
