"Who's Keeping Time?
ALBUM OUT NOW!
Greetings from a hotel in Zurich —
Today is the day! My new album, “Who’s Keeping Time?” has tumbled into the ether & is now available for all to listen: HERE
We made this thing in the attic of my 1892 Victorian in Portland - Just human beings playing songs together in a room. And, what a thing to do! I love making music.
Lots of feelings as I sit alone in this little hotel room so far away from my family, for the sake of the music. About to set out and be gone so much, singing night after night.
It’s wild to finally let the songs be heard, and fly free.
She’s all yours now — I hope you’ll find a little thread on there that pulls you someplace you’d like to return to.
Endless gratitude to the musicians and everyone who helped me bring this vision to life!
I’ll dive deeper into the songs & stories surrounding this record later.
For now, have a listen.

P.P.S. Kindly consider becoming a paid member of mine or another artist’s Substack if you are able. It is a great way to support ongoing creative efforts during a time when music has been devalued & is available for free. You can also “buy me a coffee” if you enjoyed this post, but can’t become a monthly contributor (I get it, 100%). Another great way to support musicians right now is to symbolically purchase a digital download from bandcamp, even if you prefer to stream music on the other platforms. Thanks!
Amazing. 🤩 have a wonderful and safe and magickal world tour!
Each of your albums holds such a special place in my heart but this. THIS. This is the best album yet. Incredible. 💞💞💞
