Been almost a year since I’ve had a sip of that devil juice we all seem to love so much. Life is awesome, I get to feel the suck 100% with no numbing agents.

So stoked to have the opportunity to work with @tylerwirtz_wav on some new Walkney tunes! I know I’m generally perfect but the studio really shows how much room one has to improve…

The weekend is here and I couldn’t be happier it’s Friday. There’s so much work that happens behind the scenes. Sending off some stems for mixing, hitting the studio tomorrow with @tylerwirtz_wav, & heading to Pittsburgh Sunday to practice with TBT. What are your weekend plans?

It’s been 1 whole month since I released Emotion so today I went to the Walkney Spotify and listened to my entire catalog… what a journey this project has been. If you love Walkney, comment below with your favorite song. If you HATE Walkney or just generally dislike me as a person, drop your best diss in the comments and let’s see how much my ego can handle… ❤️

Trying to get a reaction out of a seated crowd last weekend was tough. I had the opening slot and I sang my heart out, but it was early and people weren’t quite ready to party. I think I got their attention with this one…

Shout out to my two oldest supporters/homies that came to see me. Sorry I didn’t play and NeverShoutNever

It’s been 1 week since performing at @theofficenashville with @with_shams and all I can think about is being on stage. Tonight I’ll be solo kicking off the Dog Cancer Bites benefit show at 4D’s @ 9pm. Should I play my own music or exclusively Michael Bolton songs???

Back to your regularly scheduled programming… if you haven’t yet, go listen to the new single “Emotion” wherever you stream music!

It doesn’t matter how big or small the show is, I still experience some level of stage fright or performance anxiety before every event. The second I walk out on that stage everything washes away..

This past weekend in Nashville was a blur. I was so nervous and excited to get onstage to perform Run with @with_shams but everything went off without a hitch! He and his team were so thorough and put together it made my job so easy. I miss being down there all the time, but I am back in PA working on more music and videos to share with the world.

I want to give a very special shout out to my friend @feather for thinking of me when it was time to find a singer for this track. Kyle has always been a wonderful friend and confidant, and most of all a big brother type figure to me through some of the most challenging periods of my creative journey. He arranged for me to be on the song, arranged for me to come down to Nashville to perform it, and sent me home with a heart full of love and joy.

I’ll always be grateful for the friends I’ve made along the way. Growing up on the road I’ve been able to create so many lasting bonds that I will never ever take for granted, and I’m psyched to be making new memories and new friends all of the time.

Nashville! Last night we hung out, ran some songs, talked about life and got to know each other a little better. Tonight we’ll be at @theofficenashville performing together for the second time ever. Come hang & bring the energy!

There’s a lot that goes into the transition from being a part of a band to being the sole member of your project. These are three things I wish people would’ve told me about before I embarked on my solo journey.

1. It gets very lonely.

Long nights, early mornings, writing songs & making drives by yourself are all just part of the game now. What felt like a big win for a bigger purpose can begin to feel empty.

2. Your Music Money is not your money.

Going from being in a band where things are split up evenly or costs are taken out of a band fund, it’s important to reinvest what you’re making. You may think you’ll make more money being solo, but you’ll have to pay for everything by yourself. Live musicians, studio time, fuel, marketing assets etc, it’s all your responsibility now. Dont go blow your show money at the bar because you think you’re a rockstar.

3. You are completely free to do what you want.

Being in a project with other people can create a lot of value but also make tension when you want to do something that your heart tells you. Go do that writing session, jump into the open jam night. The entire world is yours and all your friends can be a part of what you’re doing, not just a select few of them.

STORY TIME
Last weekend was a busy and productive one! Huge thanks to Altoona Curve, Bo Moore and Cannatoona for hosting Walkney & making me feel so welcomed and appreciated. I couldn’t do this without the people who lift me up!

Only 4 days til the @laranyxmusic show at @theofficenashville! I can’t wait to guest perform “Run” with @with_shams
