Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped make my Ireland/UK tour special, meaningful and joyful. Especially Fernan and Rorie from Sonora Visions for putting the shows together. Thank you to equipment lenders, Lavinia Blackwall and Moore Marriott for support, and friends who came.

I’m obsessed with this new song by Lynn Blakey(Let’s Active) and Mike Mills (R.E.M.)

And listen for it on Stevie’s Coolest Songs.
