I’ve been putting a lot of energy into putting on production hat this year. Got 2 versions of Best Summer out last weekend: acoustic and “re-imagined” (the way we’ve been playing it live for the last couple years). Here’s some behind the scenes and a little stream of consciousness during the mixing process/sound design. It’s out now so go listen!! Thanks everyone who helped on Re-Imagined: 🎙️: @jeffwoodsmusic 🥁: @enstrobino 🎹: @leblaqswan 🎸: @jnixmusix 🎸: myself 🎛️(Tracking): @carrieglennmusic and shoutout to the Nashville Community College audio class for providing an awesome space 🎤: @sarinajoi for BGV’s on acoustic 😍 🎚️(Mastering): @thevoltageexchange Have you listened yet? 👀👀

Went to NOLA and brought back a fiancé 💍@sarinajoi ❤️

2024 was pretty wild. Sometimes there’s gigs that require more attention than others and it’s easy to run out of free time to work on you. This year, I had more downtime than usual and I’ve spent a lot of time in my studio this year working producing/mixing chops, starting some new projects and I learned a LOT. I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunities that I’m given and I’m incredibly thankful. I’ve been pretty low-key this year and didn’t document a lot, but here’s a little bit of what I had going on: - Signed my first sync deal as a producer for @musicunlimited.pub - @iam__annmarie cut with @pdubcookin - Got a new found love with shaker and hand percussion (thanks @chuggy1215) - Surprise cameo on PBS - Another year of getting even closer with Sarina ❤️ - Lost our buddy this year ❤️🐾 - Played a ton of incredibly fun shows - Said goodbye to my speaker (I’m proud of this)😂 - I started playing some bass - Redesigned my studio this year - 600 days of logging my food

This is a gratitude/photo dump post: I’ve been terrible about posting this summer (now that it’s almost October), I just wrapped my first gig in Europe last week in Hamburg, Germany and it was 🔥🔥 I just wanted to shout out all the incredible artists that I’ve gotten to work with this summer and have kept me busy!! 🙏🏼 I don’t have a ton of pics but here’s a couple. (Edit: not sure why some pics didn’t show up) @morganmyleslive @wynstarks @amythystkiah @sarahreevesmusic @iamamberwoodhouse Gale Mayes @alexharrissoul And my people that keep me working at home: @musiccitytoppers every Thursday @samandthemix Obviously @sarinajoi + BTB❤️ @unclenewnew2 @the_bam_rich @angelyse 📸5: @juliia.carola 7: Joshua Moore
