I'm so floored with the outpouring of support for Everywhere You Were.

Thank you to all who have been listening, in particular those who attended the release show on Friday. We had a blast playing with @thebearessentialstrio, @sweatyhandstringband, and @prewitt_michael-the music was amazing, the vibes were great.

These tunes and songs are memories-memories you all are part of.

Stream Everywhere You Were on all platforms now-Link in Bio.

This project was the result of a year long effort, and has served as my Senior Capstone for my Bachelor of Arts in Music (Minor in Appalachian Music) at WVU. I absolutely could not have done this without the great, kind, and patient team that graciously agreed to lend their time to this project. Additionally, @wvuhonors, @wvufoundation, @wvuresearch, and @launchlabwvu have been instrumental in making this project happen and are doing great things at the university. To each of you, know my sincerest gratitude.

Friends, we'd like your help in wishing Robin luck on his next adventure. Robin has finished student teaching in Fairmont, WV and hit the road to Maine where he's now ski instructing at Sunday River resort!

Robin, we hope your adventures in Maine/New England are powder-filled and glorious. We can't wait to jam again soon; may your hands stay sweaty. Love ya, bub.

And for the rest of you, Merry (belated) Christmas and happy holidays!!
