Hello friends!
Happy Equinox! Happy blooming! A lot is going on right now and I hope you are well as the sun breaks into your home and starts to warm your bones. I am trying to stay centered beneath the swirling energy of the warm start to spring. I booked a lot of stuff at the same time and am trying to manage it all so my apologies for going so long without writing to my dear people.
The good news is that I just graduated from a 72 hour permaculture design course this past weekend and I am deep in thought about how to live in a more sustainable regenerative way. I will get to that more in another post but its in the back of my mind and I would love to share more about this thought.. in the mean time, I am here to tell you about some shows coming up this week and next!
First—I am playing some solo shows this week with AJ Woods! He is from Albuquerque and I am very excited to hear AJ’s music. I bought a tape of his a few years ago at Old Paint Records here in Tucson on a whim. Just in one of those moods where I had some extra cash and thought id take a risk and get a tape id never heard of haha. Turns out I really loved the tape and we became instagram friends and now we are doing some shows together!
It feels like the way it used to be pre spotify when you discovered music by chance. It feels like a treasure. I’ve had some recent experiences with discovering new music or bands and knowing before I’ve ever met them that they are my friends. Something so nuance about the way people come across that you know they are your people. Thats hows I felt about AJ’s music. And here we are ! And with this lovely poster Wizz (@somkey_jr ) made for us.
Here are some extra deets for each of the shows— hope to see some of you here.

Thank you for all the support and being a part of my life. And caring about art. My friend Aaron posted this pic yesterday with a Yoko Ono quote and I couldn’t agree more —
“You don’t need talent to be an artist. ‘Artist’ is just a frame of mind. Anybody can be an artist, anybody can communicate if they are desperate enough.”
Feels relaxing to read that quote.
Feeling more desperate and humbled everyday.
Hope to see ya at one of these gigs. Please come say hi !
