Backstage shenanigans! See us in SEATTLE tomorrow at 7pm!!

sometimes on tour you change into your very distinctly-pajamas pajamas for load out, cuz it’s late & you want out of those stage clothes (and then you document it cuz good lighting backstage.)

First time back on stage after 10months/having a baby & it felt lovely, even with a little residual brain fog, and I only cried once! Thank you Bend & @towertheatrebend

Come see us this weekend in Portland (@albertaabbeypdx ) & Seattle (@rabbitboxtheatre )

JFK bathroom lighting isn’t nearly as good as LGA, but in any case I’m SO HAPPY & RELIEVED to be getting on a flight, w/ all my bags (yesterday I failed), to finally be touring again after 9.5 months! Yes I already miss my adorable baby to a traumatizing degree so please make it worth it and GET THOSE TICKETS!!! (Plus save $) See you soon: SEATTLE, BEND, PORTLAND, MONMOUTH!!! Tix links: click my website in my bio.

And yes I’m old school and prefer my wired earbuds.

Also, there’s one spot left for the songwriting/performance masterclass Mer & I are teaching in Portland!

Oh heeeeey. It’s been a while. Put on some make up, did not put on clothes #robelife, and made a quick little video, complete with cloth diapers & vacuum cleaner in the background. ——- It felt really good to record this cover for my Patreon patrons, and I was so grateful to get back up on that horse. I don’t know that I’m 100% back to feeling like myself, or recognizing the body/face in the mirror post baby, but this is the closest I’ve felt so far, and maybe as close as I’ll get because I am a different person now, things are different, have changed.
I’m definitely letting things be a little less perfect…and that feels great.

Patreon patrons - thank you for the cover suggestions, more coming, and thank you for all the love and support on there. Eternally grateful.
Full video & MP3 downloads posted. :)

Hello again. It’s been a couple months.
I had a baby. All is well.

I’ve been consumed by this baby & my other baby, the musical I’ve been writing: @rosettaproject_musical (aka WAKEMAN) and there’s been no energy left for social media or much communication of any kind really - in fact those things (soc. media/communication) take such an inordinate amount of energy/brain power/time I should probably see a therapist about it. …But I wanted to get this post out because people have started to express worry about my well being and the baby’s.

We’re fine, great in fact!

Having a kid so late in life means that most everyone I know that’s going to has already gone through the experience and really wants to prepare you for how exhausted you’ll be. Everyone was right, we’re exhausted, but I expected to be, so no surprise there.

I’ve never been a baby person and I never knew if I wanted kids or not - so it’s been wild to find myself so enamored with this creature. That’s a bit surprising. I find this baby so exceedingly cute, a degree to which I usually reserve exclusively for puppies.

I was also surprised by how much I hated the hospital. We had a couple lovely nurses, but overall those first 5 days were a nightmare, and what a sad way to think back on that experience. It’s a big bummer. If I had to do it over I’d hire a doula, even though I had a planned c section, so that we could have someone to advocate for us. Beware the “baby friendly” certified hospital, our experience was “mommy/daddy hostile”. (Our nurses for sure had a tough time navigating policies they didn’t agree with).

If anyone is curious - this is an IVF baby. I’m always curious, so…

I have so many more thoughts, that might border on overshare (endometriosis!), but I think this is all I can muster today.

Thank you to everyone who has sent words of love and support and gifts for the bebé (as Moira would say).

🤍

IT’S TIME!! 🎄

Summer throwback! I’m soooo fortunate to have some amazing friends like @lisamannfineart. Lisa designed our gorgeoussss @sirensongs_music SEASONS bandanas (you can check them out via sirensongsmusic.com) and led a phenomenal art retreat (in GREECE) that prompted the painting kick I’ve been on this year… (which I might share with you someday… maybe 😅) Thank you Lisa 🫶

Meaningful and EASY ways you can support me (an independent artist) if you like, with a little intention:
Feed the algorithm when I pop up on your screen! Like, comment, share, save… this really helps my work go further!! Follow me where you stream music, like/save my songs, add them to your playlists… the algorithms rule there too 😵‍💫
Finally, consider joining my Patreon for as little as $1/mo. This is my lifeline, THE reason I can continue to create, period.
Link in my bio for all the things… or better yet, google me- you know, for the algo 🤪

The quick backstage rehearsal w/ @joeyharkum - we wrote this maybe 16 yrs ago? LOVE still getting to sing it w/ you after all these years. Happy birthday rockstar. ⭐️ (If you don’t know Joey already, go become a fan.) #stillgotit #stonecold #joeyharkum

She’s a boxer with a pretty face
She’s barbed wire wrapped in lace
She’s the reason that leads good men to fall from grace

Too many times it don’t start out as lies
Sooner or later you’re gonna grow wise
She’d rather choose to be lonely than be left alone

She’s a stone
She’s stone cold
She’s a stone colder killer
She’ll find another she always does

Still accepting name suggestions for my GORGEOUS new guitar! It made its stage debut last weekend- just for one song, then I got too nervous to play it again 😂 so so so grateful for my family, my Patreon patrons, and one patron in particular (you know who you are) who helped make my white guitar dream come true! 💖

Sometimes you have way too much wine at a gorgeous vineyard in Greece. And then even though you also ate so much you can hardly breath, there is still musical magic with new friends by candlelight, under the stars, on an island on the Aegean sea. #naxos (w. @lisamannfineart @oinohoros_winebarshop_naxos @philemafoodtours) This song is called “Letter to Your Heart” - beautiful lyrics by @alfredhoward23 song by @sirensongs_music (on all the platforms)
