It’s hard to find the words to describe how incredible our experience at FEST was.
Thank you to Andy and @selltheheart.bsky.social for believing in us and giving us the opportunity to be part of something so meaningful.
Moments like these remind us exactly why we pour our hearts into what we do. 🖤

We had an absolute blast playing FEST AT THE FARM this past weekend. One of the many highlights was having our talented friends join us on stage. 🖤
Here’s Chris Lynam of Gone Stereo and Jared Knapik joining us for “Standing in Kitchens at Parties.”

Bitters and Distractions is officially a trio! Please help us in welcoming Rich Starkey to the band.
Anyone who knows us knows we always promised never to get a drummer... but in some ways, it was inevitable. Regardless, we’re stoked!
