Happy Spring from BA!

Hi there!

Happy Spring! Tennessee is in bloom right now and it couldn't be more beautiful. I hope you're all experiencing some new growth this season.

As promised in my last update, there is much to report. My main project, Friendship Commanders, completed the recording of our first full-length album about two weeks ago. It's currently being mixed by Don Gunn in Seattle, and so far we love what he's doing with the songs. We're not yet sure about the release plan, but I'll be sure to post it as it unfolds. In the meantime, we'll be touring later in the Spring and throughout the Summer, so I hope to see some of you out there on the road. We're also going to release a shorter, rougher project before the album drops. 

One week from tomorrow, on April 17th, I'll be performing at the Re-Visioning Justice in America conference at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. I will sing two of my own songs to open the conference, directly before the introductory presentation by Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice initiative. We will be at Benton Chapelon the Vanderbilt Campus, and the evening will start at 6 pm.

Lastly, What You Can Do, the social activism organization that I have been providing music for since 2013, has just been nominated for a Webby Award in the category of Online Film and Video: Public Service and Activism. I love working with their team and I celebrate this acknowledgment of their loving, generous mission. Vote for them in their category, please!

Thank you for stopping by, and for supporting work with purpose.

Rock,

BA
