In the age of the selfie, we spend a lot of time showing off our faces. But lately a different body part is vying for attention. (Well: two.) What are our hands trying to tell us? Episode 3 of our video series.

My cover of Jewel’s “Hands” was featured in a video article on The New York Times three years ago, and I only just now found out about it.

Hope you can join me for my new birthday livestream mini-series, “The Big 3-0.”

NEWSLETTER: Here’s to 2021!!!

Hello and Happy New Year!!!

As I’m writing this, I’m still coming off the high of taking part in the Ellis Paul Tribute Show for Club Passim. On Wednesday, December 30th, I was among about 30 performers who surprised Ellis Paul via livestream to pay tribute. And I must say, it was a great night. I discovered many great artists from many avenues of music, and got to enjoy some playful banter with Ellis and the crew. My contribution to the show will be made available on my YouTube channel later this month. But I encourage you to take some time and check out the entire show HERE.

Ellis Paul is a good friend of mine, and one of my songwriting heroes. And I will admit, I got goosebumps when he referred to me as “one of [his] favorite songwriters.” All this, and the promise of more work with Club Passim, made this event an incredibly positive sendoff for 2020.

Speaking of which… How WAS the rest of the year?

I think it’s easy to say that 2020 was a stressful year for all of us. The pandemic was an unexpected blow to the year early on, and it basically threw a hammer at all our plans for the rest of the time. Fortunately, I was able to start live-streaming on a regular basis during the slow months. With “The Quarantine Sessions” from March until June, and “The Finish Line 2020” from October to December, I was able to keep a pretty steady performance schedule during the slow months. And I was able to keep up with a steady string of socially-distant outdoor shows during the summer and fall months. So as far as performing goes, I’ve been keeping busy over the year.

But with the new year, I do have some new priorities. I will be taking a brief hiatus from performing and streaming to begin work on a new album. I have about a dozen new songs ready to record. The working title for the project is “When Angels Weep,” and is expected to be completed sometime in the Summer or Fall of this year. Because of the pandemic, the album will be recorded mostly in my home studio. Though this will drive down the cost of recording, it will take a lot of time for me to up the quality of the recordings, since I am not a professional studio engineer by any stretch of the imagination. This is why I’m giving myself the extra time to record the new songs. Of course, most of these details are subject to change over time. We’ll see how the production process goes.

Despite the aforementioned hiatus, I do plan on playing a couple livestreams in January. I will be turning 30 on the 22nd, and during that week, I have scheduled three live streams to celebrate. I’m calling it “The Big 3-0,” and streams will be held on the 19th, 21st, and the 23rd. Follow me on Facebook to stay up to date on these and other future livestreams.

I am making tentative plans to begin doing in-person shows again later in the year, and possibly even some touring thrown in. But I’m not at all confident in booking or announcing anything officially yet. We’ll see how the year goes in terms of the pandemic and how quickly things can return to a state of relative normalcy. I have my hopes, but I had those same hopes back in June, and we all know how that went.

Nonetheless, here’s to a happy and healthy 2021, and hope to a better future. See you soon.

Peace and Love, —Kyle
