Rockin' & rollin' tonight at the Hoot in Portsmouth, NH, tonight. Also, my friend theLionhearted has been doing these incredible Storyteller Session videos, and he was kind enough to have me for an episode. I've got part one below! Please check out all three if you can and/or any of the other sessions! Super stoked about these!

Tour with Common Folk was phenomenal. THANK YOU to everyone who helped us in any way make this tour happen. We covered an insane amount of ground in less than a month and are so deeply grateful for the hospitality and opportunities extended to us. Common Folk are such wonderful people, and our time with them, on stage and off, has left us so thankful and encouraged! We are both playing Bloodline Festival, so, if you haven't seen them, we invite you to come see us there!

We got to spend some time off with friends yesterday, and it was beautiful and restful. The island there is supposedly the site of the largest mixed-side mass grave ever. In a battle during the War of 1812, they buried British and American sailors alike there. My friends buried their rescued goldfish in the lake when she passed a bit ago. There's always so much going on down here on Earth, all in the same place. A guy just came in this laundromat in Vermont and picked up his family's clothes. Amanda and I have been here alone for 30 minutes or more, which means we were alone with a somewhat intimate part of this guy's life. We aren't sure if we'll ever see him again. Life is passing through. It's so wild and surreal. Glad to be getting to do it. Tour starts again for us June 10 in Lansdale, PA, at The Underground with Through Neighborhoods and a bunch more.

I poured the prayer candles for the new record myself. They are 100% soy wax with natural wicks, and I couldn't be more excited about them. Prayer candles are some of my favorite things right now! You can grab one at the link below if you'd like to help us out! Pick-up at Flood City Fest options are there, too, so you can save on shipping!
