Midwestern Goodbye - Album Fundraiser I'm crowdfunding for my second album reflecting on my hometown, leaving it, and chapters of life from childhood schemes to adulthood

15 hours left of my album kickstarter! y’all have blown me away, we’ve passed two stretch goals for CDs and a session harpist. now that we’ve hit the stretch goals, anything raised in these final hours will help me cover some time off work to record next month <3

8 more days of kickstarter, day 3 of countdown songs! dirty blonde started as a harp-accompanied piece in 2020, and it was finished in 2023 in a co-write with the amazing @patwhoisnice.bsky.social and purser :-)

two themes that never stop coming up in my songs
1) time is weird and cyclical
2) i love my friends so much

i write about the ways that love interacts with the passage of time--how time changes love, but also how love changes time

A fully acoustic original song from @ellispiper.bsky.social - a song I thoroughly enjoyed whilst getting ready for work!

Send all the love and support to her and her friends, they performed amazingly and should definitely collaborate more in the future ♡

These people are all the most incredible musicians, I feel so lucky to work with them. We all played backup on each other’s entries, I’ll link them in the replies!
