Y’all get your free tickets to @the.lonely.marsh yet? :) :)

Extremely proud to say that my 2nd album, ‘All of My Important Things’ comes out today. This album is one of the more accurate capsules into a portion of my brain and insides than a lot of other things I’ve made.

THANK YOU and LOVE to @caleyconwaymusic @poor_ridley and @amospitsch for recording this with me at @crutchofmemory . They made this shit sound good and it would suck without them.

Thanks to @honeytonemusic for allowing me to track acoustic piano- that tricky instrument- with them. Also thank you to my beautiful twin brother friends Josh and Luke for recording and mixing the @randynewmanofficial cover to 2” tape.

I spent a lovely week with @record.with.john mixing this thing and I still believe this is the best my vocals have ever sounded on a record.

@mystery_room_mastering took over and I am continually in awe of Justin’s ear and his ability to master life into recordings.

And finally, thanks to @beaver1801 and @turbotervo and Amos for the photo, album art and layout. I’m really lucky to know so many talented people.

Go ahead and buy a copy at one of my shows- or at dongiovannirecords dot com.

Spent yesterday with some friends out at @greenbushgrowingcoop harvesting invasive wetland species (phragmites, narrow leaf cattail, autumn olive!) from their marsh/pond areas to use as set pieces for @the.lonely.marsh . Felt very good to get outside & do some symbiotic harvesting that we can also use for this little play we’re making.

Thank you @mon.far.end & co for helping 💚

BANDCAMP FRIDAY is for supporting artists like me. Follow the Merchandise link in my bio.

Updated my bandcamp today to include some new ‘All of My Important Things’ designs!!

Tote— screen printed and hand stitched by me on Organic Canvas Totes. Design by @hotspider

T-shirt— screen printed by me on thrifted/used shirts. Design by @turbotervo .I priced these very cheap because there is an *element of danger* i.e. - these are printed to used T-shirts. I don’t buy damaged or stained shirts, but each style is slightly different and so you are getting a little bit of a mystery purchase. As a result, the price is very low so that it is fun and not stressful :)

Also!! Updated prices and sizes on the @yusukehorsejeanokada / @perryshall / @weatherpressdesigns. I lowered the price on everything because the sizes are random and I’m trying to clear em out.

You can also pick up a copy of the LP if you haven’t yet.

And if you made it this far then you will know— ALL ORDERS WILL INCLUDE A FREE @dongiovannirecords SAMPLER CD. K, love you all.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - I’ve been spending the better part of a year working on a puppet show. Researching, writing the script, music and now building the puppets. It’s called The Lonely Marsh. It’s inspired by Aldo Leopold’s essay, Marshland Elegy, and it’s about some of Wisconsin’s most common forgotten heroes- wetlands, frogs and muskrats.

Go ahead and follow @the.lonely.marsh for updates. It’s a project I am pretty proud of. I’ll be posting progress stuff along the way over there.

ALSO- come to the premiere! It is on June 19 in Prairie du Sac at the River Arts Center. The show is free, but you need to reserve a seat. Ticket link in my bio.

The show is written for children and adults alike. Gonna be a special show. Reserve a spot now before it fills up!!

Last thing- the show wouldn’t be possible without support from @riverartsinc @wormfarm_institute @neaarts and @arts_midwest . 💚💚💚💚💚

And of course, incredible poster design on slide 2 by @turbotervo

Said goodbye to my ride or die today. This thing had 300,000 miles on it and was pretty much made of rust. I don’t care about cars but, you know what, I really loved this one. Goodbye sweet Priunce.

Thanks Robin Cook for interviewing me while in Austin. You can listen to me talkin to her from the link in my stories.

PIZZA TIME

Show tonight!!! I’m so excited, all this music rips. It will be special.

Fun fact- One of the first times I hung out with Amos was at a Lumpy & the Dumpers / Tenement show in Milwaukee.

Now fast forward to a few months ago and Martin from Lumpy asked me to set up this show. How very nice!!
