Vortex Music Magazine has premiered the title track and first single from my debut EP 'The Pressure', out on September 17th! Check it out here, and please share if you enjoy.
I am also proud to announce that this song has been chosen to be included in local Portland label Tender Loving Empire's upcoming compilation!
Hey, here's a short tour update:
I'm now in the Bay area with The Secret Sea, we had two shows here so far and they were both really great. Today we play a house show here in San Francisco and then we head to LA tomorrow to play at The Mint.
Unfortunately our car broke down on the way to California and we had to rent one, which is really expensive so we had to cut the tour short and cancel our last show at Old Towne Pub in Pasadena.
And now for some better news:
Pro photographer Sarah Neill attended our show at Turn Turn Turn in Portland earlier this month and took these awesome photos. Check them out here!
A few weeks ago I recorded an interview and session for Dan Cable's awesome podcast at Mountain Air Studios. The episode is now online! You can have a listen HERE.
YouTube videos of the session will be up shortly too!
I have two fabulous new press features to share with you all. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky to be a guest on Luke Neill's fantastic radio show Sounds Of PDX (Portland Radio Project) and premiere some tracks from my upcoming debut EP. The show's podcast has now been uploaded, you can check it out here!
Just a day before I was on that show, I met up with Kelly M. Jones from Portland Notes to chat about my upcoming shows and debut EP. She has now published an extremely supportive article with an audio interview and live video! Check it out here.
I am so grateful to both these amazing people for their incredible support!
