After that, catch me at The Artisan Stack in Bridgeport alongside Lila Rebel, Trashing Violet, Illuminous, and Hot Moms. Come through!

Sunday at Spruce

with Mira Lutgendof Debs, and Dust Devil Heart

Meeting a kindred spirit in music feels rare and exciting, like recognizing a language you didn’t know you both spoke. It's an opportunity to be weird, and make beautiful sounds.   This Sunday, playing with Mira at Spruce Coffee and Tea feels exactly like that. There’s a magic in building sound side by side, letting songs unfold naturally. She has a lovely instinct, and the resonance of a viola to bring weight and a respectful gravity to the songs is really special. 

We are opening for Dust Devil Heart, whose powerful harmonies carry emotional weight and literary depth, makes the night more meaningful. It's those musical moments you know you’ll carry forward long after the last note is done.

See y'all then.

Leo Sunday

Leo Pierre Lavalle

I needed a day to organize in my heart the passing of a great person and friend, Leo Sunday. Leo was more than a talented musician. He was a steady, generous force in our music community, deeply dedicated to building connection through the events he organized and the people he brought together. He showed up, listened, and made places for other musicians to shine. In this photo he's in the back, just as he so often did in life, putting others first without needing recognition. We hold his family close in our hearts, wishing them peace, comfort, and strength. Thank you for the music, and the love you gave so freely. Love you, Leo

New Single: Gunpowder

Gunpowder is the first spark from my upcoming full-length album. A story telling folk song, it began with a simple, audacious image: writing your name in gunpowder, just to hear it said out loud. To make something loud but irreversible for the sake of the sense of emotional truth, but with a pulse on the place of angry hurt which makes for an unreliable narrator who shouldn't garner your sympathy. The track captures intimacy, anger, and the burn of loss that feels very, very loud.

The song features pedal steel and guitar from recording artist and producer Stephen Peter Rodgers. Warm acoustic texture on the banjo are provided by Jeffrey Pierpoint. Jay Miles shapes the complexity of the song on drum kit with artistic flexibility. 

Art by my singular friend and singular talent, Joe Romei: @joeghoulart

Song available on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms Friday, January 30.
