want to say sorry for neglecting this blog (again)  but now that im on a reliable computer, id love to hear some tour stories/experiences/fave song performances/ etc etc feel free to discuss !!!

I saw Augustana a few days ago, AND THEY WERE AMAZING!!!!! Daniel was gorgeous and he looked so happy and it was one of the best days of my life :) Hearing Boston live was so amazing, I can't even put it in words!

have you ever had any dreams about Dan and/or the former members of Augustana?

We had and still have a very special connection from our upbringing on the road for eight years, we were all struggling to find something new and exciting within what we were doing together. It took a while for us a while to let that all settle, sink in, and figure out who we were and how we could move forward. Once we decided what we all wanted to do, I took some time to really sit back and make sure writing and making records and performing on the road was something I was still passionate about, it didn't take me long before I knew what the answer was and I started writing. A lot of things started to really come into focus for me both on and off stage in my life and that's really the foundation for a lot of this record.

Ultimately I just want to put something positive out there in the world. I feel an undeniably strong need to create and release something that feels positive and hopeful and important in an artistic way. If it can inspire somebody or help them when they're in a rough spot in their lives, a place I've been before and survived to tell the tale, then what a special thing to be able to do.
