Two of my favorite people on the planet, whom also happen to be incredibly talented, have a Chicago-based band together called ESCP. We wrote a song together that means a lot to us called "Aria". I hope you'll take a few moments to have a listen to this tune and support ESCP. Much love all around.

Excited to be hopping over the pond again with Dessa and Aby Wolf! See you in Nov.
Excited to kick off this mini CA tour along with Corky Siegel, with this incredible effort to stand in solidarity with the refugees around the world.
After 16 wonderful, fulfilling years living in the city of Chicago, I find myself called to move Westward to try my luck in the city of angels. I love you Chicago, always will, you've been very good to me as an artist/human. New chapter ahead, nothing but love and appreciation in it's wake.
Join me and the band at Pritzker Pavilion for our final Chicago show while I can still claim residency here. It's a free show, June 22nd, 6:30pm sharp. I'm grateful for such an amazing way to bid farewell to a city that has given so much to me.
Hope to see you there Chicago!!
