I don’t know when I’ve been as excited about a concert as I am about this one. Last summer I was boarding a flight to Asheville from Atlanta, coming home from a show somewhere, when I spotted a familiar hat in the crowd boarding the plane. I made my way over to greet my friend […]

Celebrating the new book!
I don’t think I’ve felt this excited, anxious and anticipatory since Mason was born!

How to Clean Dirty Water with a Guitar
My newest guitar is a Taylor Holden Village GS Mini. I love it for lots of reasons, not the least of which is where it came from — and where it’s going. This little instrument is doing a lot of good in the world, and that good is not limited to the music being played […]

Though I’ve taught many songwriting classes over the years, this is the first at a graduate level, and I’m tremendously excited about it. It’s also open to the public. The course will […]
