Last week in Ft Worth-Glen Rose-Dallas-Quitman, Tx was a tornado of memories I’ll always hold onto-
I played songs in a cozy living room in Ft Worth, hiked 7 miles in Dino Valley State park, wrote a song in a farm house in Glen Rose, hollered OBC melodies & fiddled w/

Behind the Music: Orange Blossom Child 🌿🎶
This album is my love letter to Florida—the wild, untamed, sun-drenched place that raised me. Orange Blossom Child isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s the sound of cypress swamps, orange groves, and the deep Southern roots that

I already like it and he didn’t pay me to say that

it might still be there! sadly since I’m on musician hours I didn’t really get to visit anything during the day—the one day off I had I used up hiking in Dino valley! It was gorgeous!
😍 yay!
If Y’ALL took photos or vids from the shows this week please do send them to me—I never get to capture shows when I’m traveling solo 💔 (the whole one pair of hands thing) and I’d love to share our moments with the greater community—love you all!

Headed home on a jet plane back to Florida and my sweet tribe. My heart is full. Thankful I get to live this life. Not a single moment do I take for granted. I’m wringing out every drop of goodness while I tread this ball of dirt.

You literally have to be within 45 of my house while I AM IN TEXAS 😭
Fort Worth tonight!
Dallas Saturday!
Quitman Sunday!
Texas fam I can’t wait to see you!
bad news for everyone:
I think all the core work I’ve been adding in at the gym lately has made me louder
I like noisy records
I like intentionally loose records
I like records that breathe
that you can FEEL were made by human hands
records that take you to into the room, into the moment with them
DALLAS 3/8/25 🎶🎻 really looking forward to coming back to Texas
