Welcome

A Great Time for Songwriting 

A great time for songwriting 🎢✨️

Just about to start recording my new album and have some really exciting updates for 2024.

Hope you all have a wonderful week 🫢

Happy New Year  

Happy New Year everyone ✨️

Hope you are all doing well as this new chapter begins. 2023 was amazing for me in so many ways, but I'm ready to make 2024 even better. Feeling very motivated to continue working towards the dreams I've had for years.

On the top of the list is to fulfill a childhood dream of canoeing across America, which has taken me about halfway now from the Pacific Ocean to South Dakota over the last two seasons. This year, the plan is to compete this voyage, of another 4000 km or so, to the Gulf of Mexico.

The second is to start regularly releasing the new music I've been writing, culminating in my next album. I have so many meaningful songs that I'm looking forward to begin sharing with you all.

Last but not least, I hope to be more intentional with building, appreciating, and maintaining the relationships with family and friends that I have been lucky enough to cultivate over the years. There truly are some wonderful people in this world and I feel very grateful to know and be loved by a few of them. That being said, everyone is on their own journey and life keeps moving so quickly. It's easy to lose touch, but even one thoughtful message or phone call now and then can mean a lot. I know it does for me.

Wishing you all a very special 2024. Let this be a year of following and fufilling your dreams with the people that matter to you πŸ«ΆπŸŒ…

New EP Release  

Grateful to announce the release of my new EP β€œThe Light” πŸŒ… 🎢

So pleased to finally fully share this collection of songs with you all.

Big thank you to Braeden Rangno and David Tallarico for their amazing work in the studio as producers and audio engineers.

Wishing you all a wonderful autumn ✨️

Paddling and Playing Through North Dakota 

I've spent an incredible few weeks in Bismarck, North Dakota area and have met some amazing people here. While the natural beauty of Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River in this region are truly inspiring, the kindness and generosity of the humans (and sometimes animals) I have met has been on another level πŸŒ…πŸ™

Feeling very blessed and grateful to spend this special one of a kind moment in time here with such good souls. Even if the weather for paddling has been a challenge and has kept me here a bit longer than expected, sometimes the best things happen when you have other plans. Thank you all so much ✨️

On another note, I have a very special guest on my podcast "The Journey to the Heart" which will be coming out in just a couple days. It features an amazing songwriter I met named Aaron Butcher. We share some good stories, a lot of new music, including newly written songs. So, if that sounds up your alley, you can tune in and subscribe above or where ever you like to listen to podcasts πŸŽ€πŸŒ„

Back on the River 

Thank you Signature Montana Magazine and Kay Bjork for the article about my bucket list adventure, paddling a canoe coast to coast across America!Β 

Excited to announce that I am very close to picking up where I left off last fall and continuing my journey down the Missouri River towards the Gulf of Mexico and will be launching back out into the water in the next week or two. This will also coincide with playing some shows along the way and the second season of my podcast, "Journey to the Heart" ✨️🎢

Wishing you all a wonderful summer and see you out on the river road πŸ›ΆπŸžπŸŒž

Changing of the Seasons and New Projects 

Wishing everyone a wondrous changing of the seasons, whether that be spring or fall  🏞🌞✨️ I am also excited to announce that I will be officially releasing a new single, Threads, on Friday, May 12th.

New Year  

Happy New Year! 🏞✨️ 2022 was one of the most important years of my life so far. Along with launching my "Personal Everest" journey (Canoeing Across America), I started a podcast, played more live music again, dived into my grad school research about the vitality of communities, and connected with so many wonderful people along the way. 

It also hasn't always been easy, learning and growing in this life rarely is, but the capacity and vitality of the human spirit to still cherish one another and the worlds we share, despite being a little broken, has been truly awe-inspiring and humbling.Β 

Through all the adversity and challenges, there is so much love to be shared in this heartbreakingly beautiful world. I still believe in the vast potential we all possess to turn over a new leaf, forgive, heal, connect meaningfully with each other, and to do amazing things with the gifts that we have been given.Β 

May we all lead with love in 2023 my friends and find new joy, gratitude, and magic in this next chapter πŸ’›πŸ™
