Wasn’t aware until yesterday of the OG Sims getting resurrected near the beginning of the year. HUGE NEWS—been waiting to hear that moody and wistful Build Mode music again for literally 20 years 😭

A photo that Jack Torcolese took of me at Empty Bottle last month. Proof that I smile with my teeth out sometimes (especially when I’m playing at Empty Bottle 😌)

Unfortunate news for Matt’s and my tour with Rose City Band… our car got totaled by a giant box truck on the way to the gig in Toronto tonight & my dulcimer was broken in the process. Thankfully we are okay, but unable to perform for a time. Been a true bummer of a year, but at least life goes on 🙏

A friend’s IG got hacked so I tried to see if I could report it on their behalf—anyway, check out the first thing Google suggested after my own inquiry. I don’t know how to express my revulsion.

Saturday night at the Empty Bottle ✨ Excited to help celebrate the release of “Horses,” an LP on which Matt and I are happy to be featured. I heard tell that ticket levels are low, but not quite gone yet! Hope to see a ton of friendly faces—been too long since I was last in beloved Chicago.

It’s been a fucked up and impossibly long month for so many reasons personal/local/national/global, but at least the Lake Erie got like, really frozen this winter, and it’s beautiful in its extremity.
