The Story of "Strong Swimmer" on NPR's Weekend Edition

As though my heart can handle any more excitement this week, NPR's Weekend Edition aired a beautiful segment about my song "Strong Swimmer" (off the new album, THE MAN WHO MADE HIMSELF A NAME, out March 10th!) this morning. Notes of trauma and healing have been streaming in all morning from around the country, and I am so moved and humbled. Thank you all for sharing your stories with me. And if you missed this radio segment today, you can listen to it here... 

If you'd like to hear a live version of the song you can stream this recording of my performance on KEXP's Morning Show with John Richards earlier this week. <3

Safeco Field Show Tonight!


I have the unique honor and privilege of playing a solo set at Safeco Field tonight for "Do206 Night" right before our beloved home team, The Seattle Mariners, go head to head with the San Diego Padres. What an trip! Think I can finally convince Fernando Rodney that "Swift Arrows" should be his theme song? :)

Event info is HERE. Pics to follow!
