Yesterday was a long day. I woke up this morning humming a John Prine tune…

I tell ya, being on the commercial mailing list of the festival you’ve been submitting your band to for a long time can lead to some disappointing checking of notifications.

Who could forget those Grover Anderson classics “Sick Jimmy”, “Willie’s Song”, and “The Devil Ain’t Got No Truck”?

Reading an essay by Mary Wollenstonecraft (mother of Mary Shelley) and came across the phrase “a swarm of ephemeron triflers” and I am in awe.

Wrote a song tonight. It’s been a minute since I made time to force myself to finish an idea/draft, which was a shitty thing to do to myself.
It probably sucks and I’ll probably never play it out, but that’s not really the point.
Yay, me 🥳

“Hart” at @millpondmusicfestival Workshop StageIt’s fun to share the loud performances on big stages, but some of my favorite moments are the quieter ones. Thank you for receiving this song so warmly.

Good times at Millpond Music Festival

My favorite movie that I watched for my film noir class this summer was Out of the Past, so when the route to the festival we played this weekend took us through Bridgeport we had to make a stop in honor of Jeff. (Thanks to my professor @blbalthaser.bsky.social!)

Welles’ videos have made me smile plenty of times, but yeah. Hyden captures why I wouldn’t call myself a fan. If the goal is anything more than engendering a smile, I don’t think he’s achieving it.

Festival Mode Engage! We’re off to play two sets at Millpond Music Festival in Bishop, CA. Our last fest of the year and we’re really hoping it leads into a big festival season in 2026.
In sadder news……I put a case on my replacement phone 😢 end of an era

Great newsletter, AND a great strained pun headline for @thepressbox.bsky.social

On Margo Price, Kimmel and listening to what women say the *first time*

Special Note: Margo Price was right (Don't Let the Bastards Get You Down)

It’s a terrifying day in America, once again. And though I could be talking about any number of horrifying things, today I’m interrupting our usual newsletter schedule to talk about censorship. Yesterday, Jimmy Kimmel was suspended indefinitely for comments he made about the murder of Charlie Kirk after

Some killings you're allowed to joke about.

There’s a Katie Pruitt song called “Worst Case Scenario” and a Madi Diaz song called “Worst Case Scenario” and one of them is much better than the other (even though I adore both artists). I get so disappointed when it’s the other one.

A little nuts that 6 days ago I was covering sugar ray with these guys at a beautiful tinyass mountain music festival, and now they’re doing this wonderful thing

Say all the perfectly valid things about Train, but hot damn if their concerts aren’t worth every freaking penny. Those dudes put on a heck of a show.

Realizing, as my daughters turn on the new Snow White movie for the fourth time this week, that it was really freaking weird how many grown men told me—in print and on podcasts and in person—that it is a bad movie.

This William F. Buckley? That’s who they’re putting on the stamp?

i know there are a lot of valid criticisms of the NYT, but the bluesky replies underneath recipes that they post are high comedy.

A huge shoutout to my daughter, whose only comment upon being shown a video of her singing with my band and a pretty major up-and-coming bluegrass/punk band (Water Tower) at a music festival was “I wish they’d turned my mic up louder.”

They say you can’t pick your favorite child and they’re right but you can bet I’ve got my guitars ranked in descending order by the front door right now!
