Dream Without Sleep

We are a Bay Area Indie Rock/Pop thing.

Happy New Year’s and for my boys (and the lady vocalists) of DWS happy anniversary! So I’ve spent much of my life afraid. Afraid of how I’d be perceived. Afraid of failure. Afraid of not being good enough. So I often hide behind perfectionism. Which looks like dreaming of some perfect fantasy, and keeping it just that so reality cannot tarnish your perfect dream. You could say I literally struggle with the band’s very name then. I keep it a dream rather than wanting to risk the messy reality of it. But growth only happens in the risk. I’ve been learning to get better at singing you have to sound bad. And in the same way any chance of real beauty lies on the opposite side of fear. So 2026 will be a year of trying to find the courage to be human. Put it out there. All the blemishes and faults. Let them be. Love will always be a risk. But stepping into that risk allowed me to be getting married this next year. It’s led me to love deeper than ever. So here is a video I’d normally not post out of perfectionism. Here’s to 2026

Happy ten years 🥰

Ten years ago. If you would’ve told me at our first show we’d be a band still after ten years I want to say that I would’ve been shocked. But my ambition and desire was huge. So truthfully I think I would’ve said, “yeah of course.” What I didn’t expect was that these boys and this work would change my heart and soul from the inside out. God bless Dream Without Sleep.
