Well, that was a fun 7-week tour in Europe & the UK. Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and everyone we worked with, our agents, promoters, writers, venue staff, etc… We’re grateful for all of our supporters. We can’t wait to do it all over again. Of course wanna thank my bandmates […]
60 – Close Your Eyes and Make a Wish… I want to thank you for following along as I’ve reminisced about my milestone birthdays leading up to today… and while many of the posts have been steeped in nostalgia for my younger self, I’m glad that we have arrived at this place, together. For this […]
