It has been so drastically different, touring with Eric Johnson just a few months back on a big ol’ tour bus, having a crew, a driver…runners..

I’m offering a chance for 1 lucky audience member of each date on my SUSPENSION/DIMENSION US 2019 tour to come up and play with my band and I for a song.

There's no view currently, other than a few distant street lamps, & the hauntingly faint whisper of wind blowing through the old trees outside. (it's dark and I'm up WAY too early.)
I wonder what it's like where you are.
OMG I FINALLY FINISHED RECORDING MY ALBUM.
*faints from excitement and exhaustion*
I have learned so much from this process, after not doing a full album with a producer for a good half decade. Phew. I think I remember why I have been doing EP's lately. lol.
I can totally understand why it took me this long to record with anyone else, when I had the comfortability of my bedroom to record in. But I found that I was stifled in my ability to grow before, in the quality I could capture, and also, simply feeling alone. It felt surreal because I didn’t get to experience it with anyone.
IF you want to go support my album, you can here!

Yesterday morning was a lot like the other mornings.
Set my alarm, wake up, get my workout clothes on (I usually look ridiculous), brush my teeth and psych myself up for a big workout.
We get to the trail and do our stretching, and head off into the cascade of thick, and umbrella-like trees. We start barreling up this hill, and in a dead-focus, I stare up the rather small mountain as I take one small step, reaching near and nearer to the top, even though I am definitely in the back of the herd. (Their legs are a heck of a lot longer than mine..) I dunno, I suppose I was talking to myself like the little engine that could. "I CAN DO THIS"

Read MoreHi from my comfy bed. 🛏
I’m trying to take it in while I can. I just spent way too long trying to figure out what kind of moody music I could put on to get me in the right ‘space.’ I don't know if I picked the right playlist..meh.
But here I am.
I've learned that I need a whole lot more help than I thought I did.
Which leads me to my next point.-
So..tour.
I am just about done with week 3, and to say that it has been a bit of a whirlwind would be an understatement. Last time seemed a bit less intense. I think part of that is because I am giving a lot more of myself. A lot more energy, a lot more is on the line to go wrong.
I think putting myself in a situation with the potentiality of failing miserably if I hit a wall is exhilaratingly exhausting. In a good way.
We are on week 3 of the tour. Already 10 shows down, and 38 more to go!
It's an interesting life, that's for sure. I need to have someone help me film what my like is life every day.
It basically goes like this -
The official countdown has begun.
The tour bus leaves in 3 days to go on the road with Eric Johnson, and I am kind of peeing-my-pants-nervous and excited, shuffling through every emotion you could think of, reminding myself to take deep breaths, and rummaging through the assortment of check-lists I have to make sure I don't forget anything.
I've been anxiously counting down the days until tour. It's exhilarating, really.
One part of me is excited and ready to go out, the other is holding the invisible siderail holding on for dear life when the hot balloon is ready to lift.
Hi. 💗 I'm up way past my bedtime, and I am coaxing myself out of my little hermit shell, and opening up because you mean the world to me, and I love sharing our lives together.
Hearing about you and what you are up to, what your dreams are, your hopes, pains, triumphs, trials. It's all just amazing to me.
Nostalgia is plentiful this time of year. It makes it so apparent that
even the air we breathe is fleeting.
Changing. What is there to hold onto? Hm. Perhaps nothing entirely, other than the fact that change is constant.
It's not just somewhat crazy that I can remember very vividly it being December 2016, and thinking about how intimidating the idea of another year seemed. Oh..wow! Another year to make a change. Then. Bam.
You end up at the end of it.
Hi there. 💙 Saying hello to you is one of the best parts of my week.
I'm actually sitting here at the Charlotte airport right now, after having a flight delayed for 4 hours. I get in at 3am after a long day of working at a corporate event with Fender & Volkswagen. 😳 But you know something interesting?
I don't feel upset.
