Release Day. My new single “Camelot” is now available from all the internet’s musical places. It’s the B-side of a 7-inch record slated to drop on Nov 4th, but available for preorder….right now. *Triumphantly fires cap gun towards sky, immediately apologizes to upstairs neighbor*

The U.S. has denied Visas to 29:11, the South African group I’m slated to tour with in Aug.
My band and I will perform in Sioux Falls (8/9), Earlham (8/10), and Mpls (8/17). Chicago will be postponed to 12/11; Madison to 12:13. (Refunds avail from venue websites.) Sorry for the garbage news. Sucks.

I have stress baked.
Vanilla cakes were drowned in citrus-brown sugar syrup. Clementine peels were boiled alive in heavy cream. Buttercream ganache was whipped within an inch of its life.
And I feel a lil better.

Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Sioux Falls, Madison, Fort Collins, Earlham—see you next month.
