What. A. Night. The Songwriter Showcase at @bynx

What. A. Night.

The Songwriter Showcase at @bynxorlando this weekend was, of course, a huge success and a ton of fun thanks to these amazing artists!!

I adore the privilege I have been given of creating a space for myself and others to experience such an intimate and sacred performance of stories and songs.

I heard many backstories from @lexi.shroll that I’ve never heard before,
I got to hear @earthtones.sound’s original songs LIVE for the FIRST time,
And @meggy_kay’s rare solo set was absolutely awe inspiring and gave me an entirely new appreciation for @surfwitchmusic!

I truly believe that every piece of art is a miracle. We witnessed magic.

Thanks so much to everyone that came and spent your time on us. Your investment in local music is seen and very appreciated!!

Next Up: 12/1 Inspired By IV at @louslmga with @johndavidwilliamsmusic, @meganroxane, and @t0wmusic!!

I’m covering this and a few other Lianne La Havas songs at the next Inspired By show coming up on December 1st!

Since I first heard her music in 2019, I have grown increasingly fonder of Lianne’s singing and writing style and the parts I resonate with most have definitely infiltrated mine.

I can’t wait to perform these songs at @louslmga alongside @johndavidwilliamsmusic, @meganroxane, and @t0wmusic as they cover their respective inspirations. 9pm.

This Saturday @meggy_kay (@surfwitchmusic), @earth

Come grab a coffee or beer, peruse the record store, and enjoy a relaxing evening at @bynxorlando!

I’m so thankful for the opportunity to travel, explore, reflect, connect, and PLAY this week.

Although I am living my dreams and adore my job, I rarely feel like I have enough space in my life to rest properly. The constant hustle of Self-employed Artist is taxing. But taking a few days to get outside my own head, see somewhere new, love my family and friends, and engulf myself in landscape never ceases to ground and recenter me again.

I’m trying to process and figure out a lot right now that is difficult to write about, even in music. But I’m getting there slowly, taking breaks when I need to, and trying to enjoy the view.

To gain a sense of responsibility that brings fulfillment, not strain

To treat discipline as a path to purpose rather than an obstacle to freedom

To maintain ritual beyond what feels momentarily overwhelming

To find and treasure what is ancient amidst what is new
