This boggy marsh is the only place I have ever felt safe while living in Idaho. I will miss it, I suppose.

I’m back here again this morning saying my goodbyes. The house is about 1/3 of the way packed and we’ve got exactly 2 weeks left to finish taping up boxes before the movers come to load the truck.

Life is weird and I do kind-of wish I had never come here, but I’m really grateful for the experience, as well as the friends, family, and collaborators I have made. No regrets.

I wrote these words last year by the water the day I found out the truth of what had been happening in my world, and they still ring true as I pack up to head out:

Permission to grieve.
Permission to cringe.
Permission to change.
Permission to laugh.
Permission to let go.
Permission to love.
Permission to love.
Permission to love.

SOFTCORE has been out for one week and I am still just completely filled with gratitude. Thank you for listening, watching, and showing so much love!

Shout-out to Consequence of Sound, AdHoc, GHETTOBLASTER Magazine, Living Life Fearless, BOUYGERHL, Atwood Magazine, Skope Mag, Pause+Play, Inebriart, Willamette Week, and so many other joints who have shouted-out the album.

Seriously love you all. Read the rest of this entry »

I am completely blown away by the response to my new record since it was released yesterday.
