good style summer look book // part one

the first look of my fun shoot with claire from good style shop. she's a brilliant stylist. check them out, the rule.

sing baby, sing

over the weekend the boys and i played at LAKESIDE COFFEE HOUSE with some other local madison musicians, blair clark from THE SILLS and THE HIGH WINDOW.

i continued to be blown away by the caliber of musician here in madison - blair plays passionate and clever songs that makes me think hes a relative of tom waits. and the high window makes me want to curl up next to a fire with some whiskey and reflect on my past, while being hopeful of the future.

i'm very happy to be out singing, to be meeting talented folks and playing with talented folks. i get asked a lot about what i want to do with music and what my end goal is and i'm happy just to be doing it, honestly. i find "my sound" a little more each time i pick up the guitar and open my mouth and if someone finds joy in that somewhere, that's good enough for me.

how about those band photos huh? that's probably about as good as it's going to get...

recording our songs

carson and i play with a seven piece band called CROAKER here in madison. we've been asked for a "copy of our cd" for a long time now and have never had one. somehow, magically, we were able to be focused enough for 10 hours of song making over the weekend. (if it sounds good, it's because mike at AUDIO FOR THE ARTS is a master.)

i'll be excited to share it with you once we're done.

for now, you'll have to look at some photos.

thanks for looking. enjoy your tuesday.

community garden project

it's not the easiest spot to find, but that's what makes it even better. eagle heights community garden is tucked between picnic point and rows of UW apartments and is incredible to see.

it's website says that when they last counted, the collective of gardeners speak over 60 different languages. now that's a community.

i've taken up a little personal project, to photograph the garden as much as i can over the spring, summer and fall to see the progress over time. i'll keep you updated.

hometown pride

these dudes are rocking sxsw right now. hurrah madison!

please follow their sure to be incredible journey here.

in case you weren't aware, fall is really pretty

i'm such a sucker for fall colors and fading flowers. all of these were shot at the one and only, olbrich botanical gardens.
