pretty amazing to see “Barricade”, a song I wrote with @stefanalxndr and @adhorowi brought to life in this beautiful way by @westerliesmusic. full video performance out today on the Internet. mixed by @cuboboyd. (and for those among us keeping score, yes, this is a single live take, no edits, no tuning). congrats @stefanalxndr and @westerliesmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/BzQcf7RFFag/?igshid=1a4ejx0m82hip

“Barricade” is out! This song started years ago and evolved in lyrics and meaning into what it does today, representing Stefan’s evolution as an artist. It’s a message of love to yourself, no matter who you are, and encouragement to motivate yourself to move. There is love waiting for you on the other side of fear. Proud to have co-produced this with @adhorowi, co-written with Stefan and @adhorowi. Mixed and mastered by @miketuccillo. Bass by @pertplus. Happy Pride 🌈. https://www.instagram.com/p/BysQT1EFGMj/?igshid=h0dx62n2myrk

Two new songs are out today! @stefanalxndr is back with his first original since 2016. “Thunderclap” ⚡️is inspired by Stefan’s medical journey and recovery. Co-written by @stefanalxndr, @adhorowi and me. Produced by @adhorowi and me. Bass by @pertplus and mixing and mastering by the masterful @miketuccillo. Thank you to @allthingsgo for the premier and kind words. ⚡️ . @joshcongressmusic’s “Take it Slow” started as a ballad but feels right for a spring in its final form. Co-produced with @itschrisleon with additional mixing/mastering by @miketuccillo. (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxANo2sFl1J/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7pt304hl5wca

March/April 2012, I toured back to back with Jenny Owen Youngs, supporting her Unwavering Band of Light album (that I drummed on) & Ingrid supporting her Human Again album (that I also drummed on). Before these tours, Ingrid asked me if I would run live tracks for the tour and I said, “yes definitely”. But I definitely had no idea how to do that. I figured out what I needed, got the gear and hit the road with Jenny in a 12 passenger van for 4-6wks. After shows, in hotel rooms, I tried to learn. I was a wreck. It wasn’t coming easily to me and time was running out. The tour ended &things finally clicked. Production rehearsals with Ingrid began. Still, I was so afraid that I would fail in front of thousands of people &let down Ingrid. The first time I ran tracks “professionally” was the first show. Going on stage and hitting play on “Fire”, I was numb. But as soon as we were rocking, I never looked back. Eventually, on that tour, I got creative with the software. I started writing on the bus. After the tour, I reached out to a lot of artists in my circle asking if they wanted to “collaborate” bc I was excited to make things with this nightmare turned dream machine (being dramatic). Most people didn’t respond or take me seriously. But it didn’t matter at all bc I was having fun. This began the next chapter for my creative career, without even planning it. I’m sharing this bc it’s so important to not let our own insecurities and fears stop us from rising to the occasion and growing into something new. Your true potential will only be realized by how you deal with the fear of new challenges. At least for me that’s been the case. If you’re still with me, 1) having fun in Portland on Ingrid tour 2) trying on Jenny’s glasses 3) evry day between the tours 4) my set up with jenny 5) Ingrid tour schedule 6) my Ingrid rig on the first night of tour 7) something I saw in a coffee shop with jenny #tbt https://www.instagram.com/p/BwrwgATli4H/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dtbzqxna81gn

after a painful 3 year hiatus, @stefanalxndr is back with his cover of No Doubt’s “Don’t Speak”. co-produced by me and @adhorowi. out now everywhere. https://www.instagram.com/p/BvJxrwaF2bZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11wu056xerm9o

yesterday was literally a dream come true. I’ve wanted to speak at SXSW ever since I started playing it years ago. tbh with you, it was terrifying. I have tons of experience onstage but always behind a fearless leader. I was literally shaking through the intros and knew I would, but it was important to me to dive in and do this and not let internal fear choose what I do and don’t do! ive learned so much from this experience and grown as a person, let alone a “speaker”. @katekayesmusic, @k.mariekim and #kalliemarie we’re absolute rockstars through the preparation of this panel and just killed it so hard up there. Truly. we will do this again and we will do much more. thank you guys. thank you @pickaxebobby for your belief and trust in me and your friendship and support and all the work you do supporting the music community. thank you to everyone who took the time to come and everyone who asked us questions. I could go on and on but rn I’m just so grateful and excited for this next chapter of possibilities. love. ok going to eat this burger at the Driskill now.
