A little preview of listening to a painting and a snippet of "back to presence" featuring @mariataylor1111

This song will be the second single to drop on October 15!

The blacklight in my work is always a reminder of the magic all around. Hope to see you at the show!

Sparkle Garden is the name of the accidental band that was created because of the brilliant collaborators who helped add their genius to this project.

I've always likened my friends to a garden, but having them help bring my music to life like this was like the prettiest blooms, hence becoming the "Sparkle Garden".

Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way especially (* denotes show performers).

moon/stone is the name of this album, which I started in earnest in 2023 but revisited this winter. The album is really about a healing journey, perhaps my own. It's about embracing big feelings, remembering forgotten dreams, and finding hope through it all. Our lives are full of contrast, and it's these experiences that help redirect us to joy and love.
