The next song on my album is called "Give Up Give In." It's definitely one of the bigger "rock" songs on the album- meaning my band loves to play it. Haha.

Ode to my shoes. I got these at Frock You Vintage for under $20. They're having a sale this weekend! Muah!

Tristan Prettyman promoted our House of Blues event! Woot woot!

We love her! Check out her stuff here

The fourth song on my album Tracks is called 25 Million People. It is the first song I recorded with Alex Zander (the producer of the record). 

I dedicated this song to my sister because she has remained the constant in my life despite every other possible change. 25 Million People was written from the point of view of feeling small. Small as a person trying to make a tiny difference in a world full of problems and small as a songwriter in a sea of other songwriters trying to acheive the exact same goals. Sometimes you can start to feel small, unnoticed and unable to make a difference. But there is always that someone lifting you up. Haley has always been that person for me. She is unconditional love personified. Sometimes I've played shows where Haley was the only person in the crowd (which I guess doesn't even constitute a crowd). Haley stuck by me through my divorce when I lost most of my friends, she was with me when I came out to my dad, and when I came out to my mom she was the one who broke the news. She has stuck by me through the aftermath of all of that, not just with loving silence but with the assertion that I am doing the right thing by being true to myself. She rushed to San Diego when V was in the hospital and reminded me to eat and take showers.  Most of the things I like about myself are a direct result of Haley's positive influence and support over the years. I hope I come close to being that good of a sister to her. I tried to return the favor by visiting her a couple weeks ago so I could take care of her after her breast reduction surgery. But it was really pretty easy...I just gave her medication and ate all the food in her house while she slept. And the bitch still wears a bigger bra than me! I love you so much Haley Marie!!
