In case you don’t know the lore: the lullaby I sing to my daughter every night went viral last year when I sang it to her onstage at @theryman - I debated if I should release it or not bc I had meant to keep it just for Lucy and I. But after hearing how it helped you all with your goodnights & goodbyes- it felt like such a sacred honor to provide a balm for so many hearts. Now this song belongs to all of us (69 million views/streams!), and it’s in the American Roots song & American Roots Performance GRAMMY categories (first round ends Oct 22) AND… it’s still Lucy’s favorite song 🥹 “Meet You By The River” written by me, and made into an ethereal recording by @beckermastering @mixedbyjoncastelli @mooserob @douglascshowalter @simonmaartensson @eddiebarbash ❤️‍🔥

A huge thank you to @folkfacesfest for stayin’ up late with us last night into the wee hours of the moonlight 🌙

We had an amazing time seeing such talented acts assembled by our friends in @folkfaces and reveled in some funky sit-ins from Tyler Westcott & @eddiebarbash 🎸🎷

My first time transcribing a Tony Rice tune.
Felt inspired to try some bluegrass having heard @eddiebarbash play it so excellently recently.
would hugely recommend any sax player to give it a go as it’s class!
The tune is ‘Cattle In The Cane’

Got quite distracted in my morning practise! 😜 instead of learning what I need to for some upcoming gigs ended up making up a reel inspired by @eddiebarbash.

I find some of my best practise is where I make stuff up, stuff that can help my playing and is actually fun too. I like to think about bowing patterns that change even though the left hand stays the same — actually to develop a real creative freedom with when to throw slurs in, to improvise the bowing. This is especially relevant to Bach and any groove-based music because it’s a whole world of how to get it sounding swinging, and that’s why I dig what the likes of Eddie Barbash and @ewanbleach are doing because they give a lot of focus to the feel, and I think classical players don’t do this enough, especially where groove is concerned. It can also be cool to watch as it requires drawing all sorts of fluid shapes with the bow arm. 😎😎😎

@blockcello said he wanted GMW to be a life-changing experience, “hopefully in a good way”. Well… he didn’t say it will be the greatest, unforgettable life-changing experience.

Nothing is comparable to the honor of being on stage with @aradinkjianofficial, learning from Maestro @mei_han_zheng, and making music and dancing with @ballakouyate1973.

Music really is the purest way to connect with people, make lifelong friends, and share something that goes beyond words.

Feeling very grateful for the friendships, the music, the memories, and all the beautiful moments we created together. ❤️
