In case you missed it, I recently wrote a Substack essay expressing my gratitude for the many loving and uplifting connections that activists like Alice Wong and Judy Heumann forged in the disability community during their lifetimes. May we continue to connect and support each other in the years ahead. ❤️

We love our home city and are grateful for @treedomemn @hiddenworldvinylrecords & all the amazing friends. Tonight we finally met and shared a stage with Rochester legend @amyabtsart & @caleyconwaymusic all the way from Milwaukee, WI (first stop of their tour — fun fact: in Roch for the 4th time… come back!). Lovely night of music and community.

Today Amy Abts new album came out. This has been a big passion project for me over the last year. This collection of songs by Amy are so powerful and beautiful. From the first time I saw Amy playing live with Glitter Lung in a basement house party I knew she was the real deal. I feel lucky to be able leave my left of center punk edge to her beautiful songs.#

The second song I produced for Amy Abts is out today. “Weird” is a beautifully haunting waltz that blossoms as the song goes on. The orchestral score gets bigger and wider as Amy’s voice grows in harmony. This was one of my favorite songs to crack open and just let it take me where it wanted to unfold.

NOAH Rochester formed in mid-2023. We identified a way to be part of the solution to the affordable housing crisis and got right down to work. Our first project is focused on the housing needs of lower income creatives, especially those who identify as BIPOC, People with Disabilities, LGBTQIA+, and other minorities. We plan to keep the momentum going in the new year, so stay tuned for updates! #AffordableHousing #art #inclusion #community #rochestermn #accessibility #representationmatters Image IDs and audio description in comments!
