2023 Nashville Tour, Tales from the Road
Today, we’ve got a few things on the docket for business. We have to get Jared’s guitar fixed. There’s a buzz in it and, for live shows it’s not noticeable. But if we’re gonna be recording, that’s a big no no. I wonder if there are any guitar techs here in Nashville? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! He found...

First day in our extended stay rental. It’s called the “Pink Door House”! Isn’t that perfect? “The Band” recorded one of their albums in a pink house (“Music From Big Pink”), featuring a little tune you may remember called “The Weight”. Let’s hope our recordings from The Pink Door House are as widely loved. Our...

One of the things that brings me more joy than it should, is the lovely synchronicity of when the first day of a month lands on the first day of the week. I absolutely KNOW that things are aligned, and it will be a month to thrive and be in the exact right places at...

I’ll tell you something. The crash is real. The Quiet gets in your bones like a sub-zero freeze. The need for the next fix, the next gush of acceptance, and roar of approval. The true high you get from the connections and the applause is unparalleled. While you’re in the middle of it, nothing can...

Beautiful Yankton, South Dakota. You hid your loveliness from us almost the entire time we were here, but decided to grace us with something special our last day. As Jared and I walked along the lake, taking in the morning glory and reflecting on our previous night with our friends and the deep love shown...

A much-welcomed day off was again at our disposal. Bloody Marys called our names. So after a leisurely morning of cuddles and sleepy laughs, we dragged our butts out of bed, put on our beanies, and bellied up to the bar back at the Cottonwood. We initially went in to just have a beverage for...

Just so you all don’t think we’ve lost our goofiness or horrendous sense of humor. Here’s a literal slice-of-life look into 90% of the conversations Jared and I share. I’m sorry to disturb anyone, but this is just how it is. So, as people began filing in to watch the piano recital that we mentioned...

Today we headed back to our favorite Yankton coffee spot, Muddy Mo’s, to get some work done. Like public libraries, local coffeeshops typically have decent wifi and a bustling in-and-out of local customers that really give you a feel for the community. Well, about an hour into working, the place really began to fill up....
