2.22.25 was our perfect day ❤️

Hold On is out today <3

I learned so much from this tune. about my own journey with grief, about why I see loss and feel hope in everything, and recording it convinced me to finally make a record :) @benjaminlazardavis helped me finish this one, played basically everything you’re hearing (but that’s best dude Griff @dawestheband on drums!), and more importantly Ben helped me better believe in my music. thank you ben ❤️

if it makes you feel something I hope you’ll share with someone you like. fly free little song! best feeling.

just remembered i get to release an album this year :)

wrote this one the night before the final tracking day. it’s called “shadows” - chorus lyrics below

when you’re looking for the light
but can’t find it
and nothing feels right
find your breath and let it slow
a friend who don’t let go
there’s always a way you know
to live a little easier

lil bit of “hold on” from my friend’s roof feat. the mt washington lil bird choir

2025. I’ve never known a year as brutal - nor more full of beauty. fled the fire and slowly lost everything we had to its smoke. got married and saw that community really is the whole dang thing. received more gifts and grace and love than I thought could fit into a lifetime. tried to write songs but just couldn’t. sat in the light when it was around - and every time I could look, it was. fell in love with LA in a way I didn’t think was possible, but still decided to leave. learned Cate was pregnant at the most beautiful California beach. made moves to get this baby girl closer to family. cried a lot. found joy, too. bought a house in Durham that has a guest room with yalls name on it. said goodbye to the band that taught me so much. started writing songs again. renovated our perfect kitchen. got even more amazed by Cate.

i miss our friends. I miss Los Angeles. i wake up crying remembering the perfect neighborhood in the hills where I dreamed of holding our babies’ little hand and telling her how lucky we are, how many good people are all around, how wondrous a city can be. i’m scared of the wind now. if it had rained last December we’d still be in California. damn, life’s like that I guess. now every new place I fall asleep, i think about how I’d flee if it all went down again. i wish I had grabbed those last little trinkets I had from Mom, those things Cates’ Oma gave us. I wish I had sat and enjoyed my last coffee in the yard looking at those dusty mountains a little longer before everything changed.

I’ve started learning the sounds and sights of seasons somewhere new in a way that you only can with stillness behind and in front of you. i’m humbled by love and by change and by infinite way of it all.i’m so grateful for a partner like Cate, for friends like yall, for family, and for a chapter ahead. it’s a joy to look in the rearview and just take it all in and smile. it’s a privilege to have a kid on the way. i feel full.

happy new year, yall. i’m hoping it’s good to you. I’ll be holding our little baby girls hand soon and I can’t wait to tell her how lucky we are - and how lucky she’ll be to meet the people in our beautiful world.

I’ve never known a year as brutal - nor more full of beauty. fled the fire and slowly lost everything we had to its smoke. got married and saw that community really is the whole dang thing. received more gifts and grace and love than I thought could fit into a lifetime. tried to write songs but just couldn’t. sat in the light when it was around - and every time I could look, it was. fell in love with LA in a way I didn’t think was possible, but still decided to leave. learned Cate was pregnant at the most beautiful California beach. made moves to get this baby girl closer to family. cried a lot. found joy, too. bought a house in Durham that has a guest room with yalls name on it. said goodbye to the band that taught me so much. started writing songs again. renovated our perfect kitchen. got even more amazed by Cate.

i miss our friends. I miss Los Angeles. i wake up crying remembering the perfect neighborhood in the hills where I dreamed of holding our babies’ little hand and telling her how lucky we are, how many good people are all around, how wondrous a city can be. i’m scared of the wind now. if it had rained last December we’d still be in California. damn, life’s like that I guess. now every new place I fall asleep, i think about how I’d flee if it all went down again. i wish I had grabbed those last little trinkets I had from Mom, those things Cates’ Oma gave us. I wish I had sat and enjoyed my last coffee in the yard looking at those dusty mountains a little longer before everything changed.

I’ve started learning the sounds and sights of seasons somewhere new in a way that you only can with stillness behind and in front of you. i’m humbled by love and by change and by infinite way of it all.i’m so grateful for a partner like Cate, for friends like yall, for family, and for a chapter ahead. it’s a joy to look in the rearview and just take it all in and smile. it’s a privilege to have a kid on the way. i feel full.

happy new year, yall. i’m hoping it’s good to you. I’ll be holding our little baby girls hand soon and I can’t wait to tell her how lucky we are - and how lucky she’ll be to meet the people in our beautiful world.

my favorite thing about my birthday has always been that my dad’s is the day before ❤️

tricked @lakejamespops into coming on @the_orange_peel stage Saturday (he’s not shy it wasn’t difficult 🙃) mid-set so we could serenade him proper. he’s just the best. if you know him, you love him - and more importantly you know he loves you. he’s basically our whole community’s surrogate dad and he’s my best friend. what a gift. being able to celebrate him at my favorite club made that show one i’ll never forget. thanks everyone for singing loud for the big dawg :) i’m basking in the light still.

love you pops!!!
