Happy fall to everyone!

Hi there my friends!

I hope this note finds you doing great and enjoying life! After a terrific summer of travel, rest, and music, I am settling into my new life in Brooklyn. It is a nice change of pace and if I can get over the subway barreling through under my apt every 3 minutes, I think it will be just about perfect!

This summer found me for a couple of weeks in Montana and a lot of weeks up in my beloved New Hampshire. I am actually here right now for a wedding this weekend. Not singing, just enjoying. And I found out the wedding photographer, Emilie Sommer, is the same Emilie who took some of my first music publicity shots. It's going to be great to reconnect with her tonight.

It is definitely fall up here and it is my favorite time of the year. Crisp and cold. Sweater weather. I feel the most alive in the fall for sure. I have been working on a few more tunes and learning some cool new covers and am looking forward some hard musical work in the next few months! I have been asked back in Oct. to the House of Blues Foundation Room in Boston which is very cool so I am going to be working on putting together some musicians for this show and rocking the house (literally)!

I was also able to spend some more time with my new (and first) niece, Grace. I am so in love with her and it is amazing watching her change so quickly. I can already tell she has an independent streak and I can't wait until she can talk to me. And I can teach her how to sing! It's very cool.

Another cool thing is that I spent some time in August up at my grandfather's fishing cabin at the foot of the White Mountains. I hadn't been up there for more than a day in a while and went up with two guy friends who helped me clean it out (mouse poop and dust mainly!), haul things out, and make it livable again. We got it all back in working order and I look forward to using it more as a retreat for writing and escape from the crazy city life. It's nice to have that place to go to. I may get up there one more time before winter kicks in and I will most definitely be back up there as early in the spring as possible. I will put a picture up here of it. It is bare bones, no running water just the pond water, no electricity but for headlamps and kerosene lamps. Wood stove for warmth and propane stove for hot food!! It's a special place.

So! Next week on the 23rd, I am playing at The National Underground in NYC and am looking forward to playing a couple new tunes at a new venue. I will keep you posted this fall on more cool things happening, too.

Say hi whenever you want! And send me messages with new music that you have discovered. I am really on a new music kick and love hearing about new bands and songwriters!
