This one was inspired by my recent cross-country tour. When I got home, I was feeling pretty discouraged about life, career, etc. Every time I get home from tour, I start to question everything. What am I even doing? Does anyone care? Why do I continue what feels like an abusive relationship with music? It took a couple days, but my perspective started to shift and I felt very lucky to have just been on this wonderful trip where I was able to meet new people, play new venues, and experience beautiful nature. I gave myself a little pep talk to remind myself what my late friend Jeffrey Joe used to tell me: "time takes time." I've been so into treating time as a thief over the last couple years, but I'm finally starting to turn a corner and see it as something that can help me heal and grow. I was recently told in a songwriting critique that the hook "Time is on the Way" wasn't very strong, but for the first time in in a very long time, time is becoming my friend again. It fills my heart and gives me hope to sing that phrase over and over again. I hope it gives you the same feeling. 

Thanks to everyone (and there are so many of you!) who made the Lights Out 2018 Summer Tour a really fun experience! My awful photography skills don't do it justice, but I wanted to make a little recap vid to show my kids someday. Here is 7Kish miles in 3ish minutes.

PS - The background song is called "I Carry You" off the album Lights Out. If you like it, please stream/download/purchase where music is available!

I'm home from tour, and I'm excited to announce that my first local show will be this incredible fundraiser event for LifeSpring Voices. Organized by North County Lifeline, this program's mission is to help former foster youth transition out of the system. I couldn't be happier to contribute and attend - hope you are able to join us and/or donate toward this cause!
