September events & a new single announced!

I’m pleased to announce “Lullaby of Loathing,” coming to you on September 10th! This is the third and final of the freestanding singles to be released before I start releasing work from the forthcoming album. This one concludes the series, with fire. When I wrote this song, I thought, I can’t release this. People don’t want to hear a woman say these things. I very nearly put it on the shelf. But I’ve had a change of heart. Whether or not anyone else wants to hear me say these things, I want to say them.

When I walked away from my solo work years ago, I did so for a number of reasons. Some of them were internal, but some of them weren’t. Some of them had to do with toxic behaviors of other people, not the least of which were unfit men in gatekeeping positions in the Nashville music community. They’re everywhere. Throw a stone, you’ll hit one. This is my stone. Please pre-save the single!

I’m also thrilled to share these September solo events! I’ll be celebrating the release of “Lullaby of Loathing” at these shows, along with the other singles I released earlier in the year. Details below!

That’s the news for now! I appreciate your attention and support. Can’t wait to share the new song with you. More soon,
