hey nashville friends: i have a good friend who’s new in town, a sweet soul and great drummer looking for her people and a spot to connect and jam. so far the scene has not been kind.
shoutout/tag places and specific gatherings that celebrate & welcome queer and trans musicians?

it’s been a year since survival songs came out.
somehow it feels just as urgent now.
tonight i’m playing the whole record and telling the stories behind it.
7PM CT. one night only.

my favorite bible story is the one about how the soldier brings his father’s watch back from the war

it’s a wild thing to grow up inspired by someone’s playing…
and then years later, get to send them something you made.
the creative life is long. you just never know where the threads will come together.
feeling very grateful today.
survival songs was written as a soundtrack for my queer family and friends. the art was made with my kid ash. every print is signed by both of us, with a handwritten lyric.

i’m hardly good at anything.
but the few things i am good at, i’m really good at.
i’ve been writing songs for 30+ years.
if you can pay attention, you can write songs too.
i’m opening a few one-on-one songwriting coaching spots while i’m off the road.

as i keep thinking about what choosing “small” looks like in practice, starting this week i’m livestreaming myself quietly reworking songs from my catalog. calling them “quiet times.”
first session is friday:

i shared something this week that i didn’t really know how people would receive.
it’s long-ish. it’s not promotional. it’s just about art, attention, sustainability, and why i'm choosing small.
if you missed it and have a few minutes today, it’s here:

i’m going to confess something that will probably disqualify me from most modern conversations about art, growth, and success.
i don’t want more fans.
i just want the right ones.
which is why the future, for me, is small.

i’ve been sitting with this for a while but i’m done pretending otherwise.
ok i’m just going to say it.
i’m a full blown heterophobic. fundamentally, i just don’t trust straight men.
