My cozy office space yesterday afternoon at Koi Pond Brewing. What a fun set!
Big thanks to the friendly listening crowd that braved the heat to hang out.
We had a few singalongs and I tried out a few new songs.

I’m taking off August and most of September for some family time, writing & recording.
We’re hoping to release a couple of new songs before the end of the year.

Hope you’re having a fantastic summer!
