This is a reminder that the world is out there waiting for you to tell it what you want. Go do that thing you’ve always wanted to do. I wanted to work with musicians and creative people in an industry that I so badly craved to be a part of. I did that. 10 years ago I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. But I learned… and people like @nakia trusted me to do a good job. Now look at us. Still working together.. doing the coolest shit, and supporting our community. So entirely grateful for this city and for everyone that taught me something along the way. 💕💕💕💕. GET YOUR TICKETS TODAY. Almost sold out…. Link in bio ➡️ scroll to see this ✨STELLAR LINEUP✨

On April 21st, the exact 10th anniversary of Prince’s passing, I’m co-producing Joy In Repetition: An Austin Salute 2 Prince at Antone’s Nightclub. @nakia and I did this once before, ten years ago, over two sold-out nights, raised a lot of money for SIMS Foundation, and left a mark on everyone who was there. Bringing it back on this particular night felt like the only right thing to do. The Grammy-winning @grupofantasma , who literally backed Prince at the Golden Globes, the ALMA Awards, a CBS Super Bowl Bash, and his legendary 21 Nights in London residency, will be the house band once again. We’ll have a rotating cast of Austin vocalists, and original Grupo member and Grammy-winning producer @adrianmquesada joins us as a featured guest. A portion of the proceeds will once again benefit @simsfoundation which provides mental health and recovery services to Austin’s music community.

Every year @sxsw teaches me something new. This year it was clearer to me than any other year that I’m surrounded by creative people full of hope. People who care about the world, our community, and who make a difference every day. Some with their art, some with their smile, and others with their dedication to creating a space for all of this to exist. I’m full of gratitude. Not pictured - a brief lapse of judgement where I fell in love with a sparkly armadillo and kidnapped it for a quick adventure. Thank you (you know who you are) for being so gracious with me when I came to my senses. 🪩✨✨

What a day. 🌈🎶 Yesterday we made a little Austin music history. Stay Out: Loud & Queer was the first-ever queer music showcase at the legendary Continental Club - and the room was full of love, community, and incredible music from start to finish. These photos capture just a glimpse of the magic: artists bringing their whole hearts to the stage, friends old and new filling the dance floor, and a beautiful reminder that queer joy and live music belong everywhere. Huge thanks to: ✨ Every musician who shared their talent and trusted this brand-new idea ✨ Everyone who showed up to celebrate with us ✨ The amazing team at the Continental Club for opening their doors and making space for this moment ✨ Our generous sponsors for helping make the day possible @fvflaw @rkears @atxmusicians @bmi @koqagency @goodwolflive @lgbtqmusicindemand ✨ And 📸 Dave Hawks @dhlens for capturing it all so beautifully This was just the beginning. Stay out y’all… loud & queer!

This was on our recent trip to Denver. We met each other in June of 2000. That means this is our 25th Valentine’s Day. I love you @curtisconnors2023
