EP Release Show this Thursday here in NWA and genuinely getting so excited to play music for you in public again. Writing and recording songs can be a blast, but nothing will ever beat singing and being loud with a group of actual humans. Come sing and celebrate the release with me and the band this Thursday if you’re in the area. Bring a chair or a blanket so your backside stays dry, grab a drink from and a slice from , and maybe a shirt or two while you’re at it.

Thu May 7th / 7pm

FAR AWAY feat.

Sometimes you write a song that in the moment you know is significant but you don’t quite know what to do with it yet, so you set it aside until the right time comes. Far Away was that song for me. I wrote it over 6 years ago with my two buds and back in Nashville. I couldn’t articulate its full meaning at the time, but over the next several years it would hit me like a ton of bricks.

In short, I am a deeply insecure person. I know most of us feel that in our own way, but for years I lived a life marked by constant doubt and insecurity. I felt far away from my family, my friends, and myself. Still do sometimes. But I’m getting better, and singing these words helps for some reason. I hope they do for you, too.

Listen to the full song this Friday.

Slow down
Feels like I’m spinnin’
And I’m breaking down
I try my best to fit in
But I feel the crowd
Staring, sharing glances, oh

Drinks to drown
The hours and the minutes
And I feel left out
Of life that I’m not living
And it’s all these doubts
I’m hiding, fighting, lost in, oh
