Quick update! Looks like I get to play @sunshineridgefarm on their 5th anniversary weekend! Join me for Friday tunes and vibes!

Sorta back to normal, even only for a weekend. Please come out! And thank you all for helping me get my debut single “Edge of a Hurricane” out there. With your help, we’ve beat 2000 streams in 22 days. Not too shabby for a very first, very independent release. Can’t wait to bring you more.

Fun weekend ahead. Nursing a cold but damned if it’ll get me down. See you soon.

Friends, I am asking for some community here. My good friends at Kerbobble Toys here in Manassas recently experienced the kind of loss that can be catastrophic to a small, family owned business. There was an elaborate scheme involved and even if they catch those responsible they’re unlikely to recoup the loss. If you’ve got just a few dollars to spare, there’s a link in my bio for a fundraiser for @kerbobbletoys and anything helps. These are personal friends of mine who have been very good to my family. Please consider, and have a fantastic day :)

Looking forward to getting back out to @larkbrewingco in Aldie this weekend. I’m not playing at my typical clip for February, but I’m using a lot of the time to work on merch for you guys, so I hope you like it.

For a completely independent, fairly unknown and unbacked artist like myself releasing his first ever single, Edge Of A Hurricane is showing me that you guys believe what I have believed all along: that it’s a great song. To say I’m grateful is a travesty of an understatement. The next single comes out in March.

I think this life for me and my family is about refusal to sit where we are; to continue to grow and evolve just like Kara would want us to. I’m going to do my best to continue to bring that to my interactions, my art, and myself. I hope you will do the same for you.

And I truly hope to see you around 💚

Valentine’s Day is coming soon. Always believe in love, and make sure you hug someone. Only a few gigs this month but lots of really cool news in the very near future including merch and another single release. I’ll be out at the end of the month, so please come sing with me when you can, and please stream my debut single “Edge Of A Hurricane” on your favorite streaming platform (and tell all your friends) 🥰

I can’t wait to hang tonight in my little city with one of my all time favorite musicians and people. Take a chance and come warm up with us, the best beers (NA’s available), and outstanding pizza. We promise to be good.

Been so wrapped up in promoting my new single that I completely neglected to promote these amazing gigs I have this weekend. A little concerned about Saturday, but really need the work and the hangs with Tommy so we’re manifesting good weather over here. Help me out!
