"The Melody" video and single are out! ✨

Friends! My song “The Melody” is in the world today! This is single number two from my forthcoming album, Conversations with My Other Voice. This is one of my favorite songs on the record, and one that holds a foundational story in my life. Here’s a snippet:

He said, “It’s not like the songwriting is rocket science or anything.” So I kept my songs and got rid of him. But not before we spent years going around that same tree.

Some of that story can be read here, in the feature in Guitar Girl Magazine! You can also read about the recording process and my beloved guitars (all of which have names).

Conversations with My Other Voice, is a back-and-forth between a younger version of me and me now. The idea to make the record was inspired by five songs I didn't get to record in my previous solo music chapter; I thought I'd track them and quietly release them as an EP, but when I sat down with them again, I found that I wasn't the woman who wrote them anymore. The stories had changed, and so had my feelings about them. So, I wrote five songs in response and updated the perspectives. It ended up being a set of conversations, hence the title. It is a memoir-in-songs. I am publishing a collection of memoir-style essays, with the album. Pre-order here!

Both will release on September 23rd.

The next single is called “Deadbolt,” and it will be yours in August! Pre-save here!

The video for “Afraid of Flying” is making its DittyTV debut this weekend on The Curve! Tune in at 10 PM CT to catch it!

The official album release show will be on September 28th, at the OG Basement here in Nashville! More details about that soon, but save the date!

I think that’s everything. Who knows anymore. There’s a lot going on. I love you and value your presence here; thank you. Talk soon!
