Hi y’all! Welcome to my new and improved newsletter. As of this week I’ve officially entered release mode. Many late nights listening to final mixes, editing a brand new website, designing merch. The list goes on as I prep for a summer of events and tours!

As you know, I’ve been working on my breakup album “4U” for a year and half now. I’m soft launching into a fall release with a surprise EP drop on July 11th! Because every good breakup begins with a great love story, I wanted to share 3 intimate and very personal songs that tell the story of how I fall in love. I can’t wait to share the stories behind these songs. They were recorded on my bedroom floor and sitting at the keyboard reminiscing on summer in the city long before I ever dreamed of moving to New York.

I promise I’ll have more stories to share soon, but for now, if you can take a few moments to pre-save the album it makes a big difference to get my music heard by more people.

I hope to see you at these NYC Events:

In July I’m kicking off a secret rooftop concert series.

Here’s me voting for our next Mayor, Zohran Mamdani! Finally some good news :)

I’m heading to Colorado on July 11th to spend time on the road with Ley Line. We’re opening for the Wood Brothers on July 19th! Let me know if you want to come to any of these other concerts as space is limited at the house shows:

And then back to New York for a very special tour late July and August all over New York State! More details to come!

Much love,
