Happy Holidays and NYE party at Hotel Lucine!

What a year! Before I get started with this post, I just want to say thank you for being a part of my community. Because of you and all of my supporters on Kickstarter, I was able to send my debut solo album into final production. More on that in the new year. 😌 Do you have New Year’s Eve plans? If not, I hope you’ll make a plan to join me and my trio at Hotel Lucine in Galveston, TX. I’ll be joined by Sara Van Buskirk and Kenny Hopkins of Yay Hi. I’m especially excited for this show because we’ll be playing songs from my upcoming album, some solo work from Kenny and Sara, and a few covers to keep things fun and light as we welcome in 2026 next to the ocean.

This year was filled with some really incredible moments. I got to tour all over the country with the Antone’s 50th All-Stars. That season wrapped with a debut performance on Austin City Limits. I performed at Willie Nelson’s Luck Reunion and the SXSW Grammy party backing up Jessica Simpson. Check her recap here. The next day, I opened for Waxahatchee at the ranch with my full band. I wrapped recording on The Suffers’ fourth studio album, and I helped my friend Sara Van Buskirk on album production for her sophomore album. Check out the music video for her latest single, “Comfortable Lie”, here. Last week, I made my first trip out to Virginia Beach and Norlfolk, VA to collaborate and perform with my dear friend, Roberta Lea. We released a holiday version of our country single, “Too Much Of Me”, and ended up performing it to a packed house at the Cavalier Hotel in Virginia Beach and on early morning television the next day on WTRK for Music Fridays. This past Sunday, I performed at the 21st Annual Trills The Season Toy Drive and Concert. I did a rare solo dolo set, and you can view my performance of “Talk To You” from that night here.

Before I close, I’d love to share a clip from a recent performance of my unreleased song, “Happy Holidays”. It was co-written with my friend and The Suffers bandmate, Ed “Blacknintendo” Prevost. There’s a lot happening in the world right now, and I hope this moment of music reminds you to take care of yourself and of others. Thank you for supporting me, and reading this email. I can’t wait to share some of what I have coming up in the new year, but until then, I’ll simply say, happy holidays, and that I wish you a safe, healthy, and Happy New Year!

With love,
