As of today the album has been out for 1 month! Yes! I have received so many emails from people telling me they've heard "Everything You Have" on the radio...and other emails from people sharing their opinion of the album. This is exciting to me! Thank you for making the music part of your daily playlist. Please continue to share the music. I will have more substantial news to share in the coming weeks. All the best to you!

So as I begin to tour extensively in support of the new album, I thought I would create a house show page to give people an idea of what it means to host a house show. If you've ever toyed with the idea of having a concert in your home, then read this. This year I am hoping to do more shows where I get a real opportunity to connect with the audience both on and off stage. So if you want to book a house show lets connect!

2. Some friends and I have just release a Valentine's Day compilation album called "Valentine's Mixtape". You can get it on Noisetrade for FREE. But we hope you consider donating to our charity - Not For Sale - as they work to end Human Trafficking in the United States.
