🎸 A LITTLE TASTE OF BENDING BRANCHES LIVE AT THE LILYPAD. 🔥

💚🌳There’s nothing quite like playing live with your favorite people, in front of a room full of people who came to hear you do your thing.

A little guitar, a little harmonica, a whole lot of energy. This is Bending Branches. 🎶

From Boston to Cambridge, we’re building something special — one show, one song, and one unforgettable night at a time.

This is inarguably our favorite cover to play. Hands down. It’s no secret that Ed Sheeran is a huge influence and inspiration to Joey. This one goes out to all the haters. Best songwriter of our generation. Facts. 🤙🏼💚

That aside,

Thank you to everyone who keeps showing up, supporting the music, and making these moments possible. We’re just getting started. 🤘🏼

What song should we bring to the next show? 👇🏼

Still not over this — Bush absolutely killed it at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston.

Gavin Rossdale brought insane energy during Everything’s Zen — easily my favorite moment of the night. Had to share. 🎸🔥

Still can’t believe this one. ❤️‍🔥

Shayla, Steve, Phoenix, Joey, and who could forget… Bobby! 😂

A little snapshot from this past Friday night after our first ever SOLD OUT show at The Jungle in Somerville.

What a night. What a room. What a feeling.

From the first note to the last, this was one of those nights that reminds us why we do this. The music, the people, the friendships, and the energy that makes playing in Boston so special.

Thank you to everyone who came out, sang along, supported Bending Branches, and helped make this night one we’ll never forget. We’re just getting started. 🎸

Sometimes the best part of the show is forgetting there’s a camera. 🎸💚🌳

Just me, a guitar, a microphone, and way too much feeling behind the song. 😂💚

Boston indie rock. Live music. Singer-songwriter. Acoustic guitar. Original music. Bending Branches. Just getting up there and playing the songs the way they’re supposed to be played.

More shows. More originals. More noise. 🎶

💚 Late-night sets, live music, and pure soul — performing “#41 by Dave Matthews Band never gets old. Every note hits different with this song’s emotion, groove, and storytelling. Grateful for the crowd, the energy, and the chance to play one of the greatest live music songs ever written. 🎸🔥🎶

Watching Phoenix finally play “Casey Jones” by the Grateful Dead live was a full-circle moment. As the world’s proudest fake father, I couldn’t be more emotional. 🥲😂

Anyone who knows Phoenix knows the Grateful Dead aren’t just his favorite band—they’re practically a personality trait. Seeing him absolutely rip through one of the most iconic Dead songs live was equal parts inspiring, impressive, and proof that years of listening to Jerry Garcia have finally paid off.

The energy, the guitar work, the smiles, and the crowd reaction made this one of those moments that reminds me why I love live music so much. Proud of you, son. Even if we’re basically the same age.
