About This Event
Storytelling has always been a deep rooted need of mine. Whether it’s listening or joining in. I think the ability to transport yourself to a different place , feeling , old memory , new memory that hasn’t happened yet, or all these combined with a simple story is very captivating and pure to me. It’s one of the oldest forms of entertainment we have. It can be internet-less.
Music has always been the vessel that I’ve gravitated toward as the medium to relay stories. It gives me that extra juice and the goosebumps on my neck when soul touching chords or Melodies mix with the love of storytelling. All I want is to give my stories and have fun constructing them in the vessel of this type of sound. The only thing better than the creation is sharing live with a crowd of people. Directing moments with an ensemble of listeners to feed off their feelings and oneness and create a one-off moment together is more fulfilling to me than anything I’ve experienced and feels like a called purpose. Maybe that’s the overly deep way of saying I love performing live, but there it is all the same. I hope anyone who can come to a show will feel that way and say I gave all. I believe in my songs and I’m excited for them to get stuck in some heads.
