March is coming in. Lots of shows on the books this month, all of them exciting and cool. But really, is it time for me to cut my hair? Mod spring? Or Rocker summer?

Soon, eventually, we’ll get to discard everything here and finally exist solely as spirit. No houses, no airports, no stop lights, no phone calls, no skies, no Januaries, no poems, no parties. Happy birthday to Emily, the most shining example of existing already as spirit alone, in a place and a form that never makes that easy. Emily! Emily we love you!!! 🩵🪞🫛

Overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for all of the kindness and support surrounding my new record. Thank you! Sharing creative energies with so many thoughtful, talented, and open friends is one of the only things I’ve consistently found peace in, even this many years into my practice. I’m profoundly thankful to everyone who makes that space for me. See some of you tonight at the gig, and everyone else, see you soon. 🩵🙏🏻🌐 photo by @carrigandrallos
