‘Shenadune’ is out today! I feel excited and relieved, as if I’ve been holding a secret and now I get to share it with everyone.

This is my first "solo" project, but turns out I have had a huge, talented, generous, supportive team of people backing me up!

Thank you to my angel team of musicians who added their special magic sauce to these songs. Epic, lush, orchestral vibes thanks to Cassidy Moore, Michael Fecskes, Anton Patzner, Lewis Patzner, Nate Salman, Luke Bace, and Matt Schory.

Thank you to Luke for also being the perfect personality to help me feel comfortable and creative, with the expertise and skill to make these songs sound their best and come to life!

Thank you to School of Song and the instructors for giving me the push, the inspiration, and the container to write so many songs. Eleven of these songs were written or completed thanks to classes led by Luke Temple, Courtney Marie Andrews, Robin Pecknold, and Eric D Johnson.

Thank you to musician friends who are walking this path ahead and next to me for your support, encouragement, mentoring, and inspiration. Thank you especially to Claire Wellin for help cracking the code on the sequencing puzzle.

Thank you Bijan for the finishing touches and being so easy to work with.

Thank you David Radzihovsky for finding my best angles, and Loulou Androlia for making the album look beautiful and reflect the music so magically.

Thank you to the crowdfunding backers who believed in this and boosted me over the finish line. Thank you for making it sustainable for a single mom to self release a whole album.

Thank you to Eli for giving me so much inspiration, loving my songs, making my heart too big, and repping me to kind strangers - “My mom is putting her music on Spotify!”

I’m so glad I finally get to share this music with you all. I hope it can help you unwind, cry, dance, relax, heal, sing or hum along.

Time for some big announcements!

7/7 ✨ My debut solo album will be landing on planet earth July 7th! I am very excited to share it with you.

So excited, in fact, that I have planned a whole album release tour!! I teamed up with the lovely Blair Borax for a mega curly tour. Come hang out with us and send your people so we can hopefully make everybody cry, and then laugh, and then cry some more.

Final show at The Lost Church - Santa Rosa will be a full band celebration featuring Michaela Thomas on harmonies and bass, Michael Fecskes on cello, and Cassidy Moore on violin! This is what my dreams are made of and I can’t wait! Get tickets now 💫💫💫

AND another new single *Quiet* coming out this Friday!

'Dots & Dashes'
The first single off my upcoming album is out now!

There is so much I could share about what brought me to the moment when this song was written. An entire saga of challenges and injustices, outside influences with great impact on my parenting experience. But, in truth, I’m still not sure if I can safely share these things publicly. Maybe one day… Till then, this poetry will do.

I wrote this song for my son a few years ago. A comfort blanket of a song to wrap ourselves in. May it bring some warmth and hope to others.

Thank you so much to the buddies that helped bring this song together and ready to be released.

Thanks for including my new single 'Dots & Dashes' on your show!

I am so deeply touched by the support I received for my album with my Kickstarter. It’s still sinking in that I met and passed my goal. My heart has been so warmed and tears brought to my eyes many times by the generosity, attention, goodwill, and messages of support. Being seen for the artist part of myself feels nourishing beyond most things.

It is such a challenge to be a music artist in today’s world. But truly, it has always been this way - Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart did not have a predictable income but depended on the patronage of dukes and kings to commission works and literally house them and their families. How blessed we are that those musicians were supported then, so they could create and we can know and love their music still today.

Thank you for being a patron of the arts and for me specifically. Thank you for being my kings and dukes. Thank you for believing in my project and being excited for me. Thank you for making my solo music debut truly a team experience.

Ten days left to reach my goal! Can you help me finish my album?
