Thanks to the Recording Academy / GRAMMYs for including me in this story about Portland’s political music scene alongside so many PDX-based artists I love and respect.

“Portland Goes Harder: How PDX’s Disparate, Diverse Music Scene Has Coalesced Around Progressive Politics” is out now.

First round voting opened for the GRAMMYs and our song from the Kill Rock Stars 30th Anniversary record is on the ballot!

If you are a voting member of the Recording Academy, we’re in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category and would love your vote. (Here is more on that.)

Thanks in advance for your consideration. 🏳️‍🌈

Join me and the Recording Academy in recognizing all of the music creators who work #BehindTheRecord — an initiative to give credit where credit is due.

It’s time to bring music credits back and celebrate writers and other creators who work behind the scenes.

Here’s a peek at everybody who made our Gossip cover happen for Kill Rock Stars’ 30th Anniversary record this year!

Thanks to everyone who voted for My Movie Star in the 3 categories it was up for at the GRAMMYs!

We (predictably) lost the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album nomination to Barbra Streisand, John Legend, Elvis Costello, Michael Bublé, and Andrea Bocelli, but holy hell it was fun to see our names on that ballot.

I also cannot stress enough how much I loved working with (and then #Grammy campaigning with!!!!) my childhood pop hero Tiffany. Her beautiful rendition of Big City Now from My Movie Star ultimately lost the Best Pop Solo Performance nom to Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande, Lizzo and Taylor Swift, but I’m #TeamTiff FOREVER.

Working across genres on My Movie Star was really exciting, and while Scott Simpson’s cover of Underground was knocked out of the Best Country Solo Performance race by Willie Nelson, Blake Shelton, Ashley McBryde, Tyler Childers, and Tanya Tucker in round 2, infiltrating the Country ballot was a trip.

Congrats, everybody! I’ll see you at the big show in LA on January 26th. 🤘🏆
