I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

Happy 1st Birthday to my song “Possibility!” What a year it has been. Sadly this “jaded and jaunty” (thanks @rainbowrodeo.bsky.social ) song remains relevant, as the possibility for a free and equitable society seems lightyears away. Keep fighting. #musiciansky #queercountrymusic #americanamusic

I’ll be in Forest Park on Wednesday May 28 at Robert’s Westside; would love to see you! Tickets: link.dice.fm/bPSXeyiBGTb?...

Thank you! It's a really fun vibe, I stumbled upon it about ten years ago when I was on vacation in the UP, and it was great. Jazzed to be going as a performer!

Happy 92nd birthday to one of my major musical heroes, Willie Nelson! I played one of my favorite songs of his, “Somebody Pick Up My Pieces,”at my album release show last year. ❤️ #willienelson #musiciansky #queercountrymusic

Since I was a young person, this Dolly Parton tune has been my favorite song. Seeing some Virginia bluebells in the forest over the weekend got it stuck in my head! “Wildflowers” from the first Trio album.

I think I’m working on an electric EP? It didn’t make the most sense for me to bring this Harmony Rocket (🎸) home a couple weeks ago, but it has brought creative joy back into my life and I’m just running with that. #musiciansky #americanamusic #queercountrymusic #indiemusician #newmusic
