2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Thoughts on our last 52 days… I think we won. We did so much. We checked boxes, set goals and met them, failed and succeeded. Learned, thought and listened. And overall, I think we won. I have sat or stood next to my husband many times in the past couple months, sharing meals, doing crosswords,...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Saying goodbye to Nashville was much harder this time than it was five years ago. We had been planning the send off to begin with our last walk through our beautiful East side neighborhood to the very same Lipstick Lounge where Jared got to see the Star Wars Burlesque for his birthday. We had been...

With our last gig on tour approaching, we decided to head into Alabama a day early and hang out with our friend who helped get us the gig at the Athens Ale House. Saunders knew that Athens, although small and perhaps not the most exciting town, had a few fun things to offer, so we...

There are good nights of music. Then there are exceptional nights of music. Then, there are absolutely MAGIC nights of music. All apply here. This Thursday was our last chance to visit our favorite open mic at the Bowery Vault in East Nashville. It was the best way to bookend our trip for so many...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Photo shoot day!!!!! Our friendship with Barbara Potter began waaaaaaaay back in 2014 at the illustrious D.B. Cooper Music Festival, where Jared and I got wicked sunburns. Barb was there to photograph the bands Sweet Kiss Momma and Jessica Lynne Witty, and Barbara had on some super-rad pink boots that I spotted out of the...

Wowza!!! Did I get hit with a dose of a past blast today!!! We have been trying to get together with Amber Sweeney since we arrived here in Nashville, but several things kept it from happening. This was going to be our last chance while we’re here and I’m so glad it all worked out....

I needed to split this blog into two parts because there were so many great acts and I wanted to spend a bit of time chatting about a few of them, so you can look them up or just feel like you were at the show. Obviously, yours truly blew the damn doors off the...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
It is Monday. Typically, the dreaded “back to work” day. In our case, Monday WAS a back to work day, and we couldn’t have been more excited! Monday’s gig was one we had pushed for and had set up long before we left Tacoma. Randi Driscoll is a friend of our Tacoma friends, Ray Hayden...

We love getting pictures of our little man while we’re on the road. He’s happy, he’s loved, he’s doing stuff. This weekend, we popped back up to Louisville, KY to chase down some leads and visit family one more time before we head back to Tacoma. It was refreshing, rejuvenating, and reaffirming! Here are some...
2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Alright people! No where to go but forward! I’ve got a lot of cool things to chat about and some not-so-cool, but necessary to the journey. But first, I’d like to address something… After my last blog (last Friday), we had so many of you reach out to us to offer love, jokes, solidarity, encouragement,...
