We would like to share the chorus of our title track on this 25th anniversary of 9/11—to hold in our hearts the terror and tragedy of that day; and to acknowledge and celebrate the ways in which we have risen from the places where we have fallen.

May we remember those we lost, honor those who endured, and continue to find strength, connection, and hope in the years that follow.

It was fun bringing our sound out of New York City to West Virginia and State College, Pennsylvania where people appreciated seeing and hearing something different! Thank you so much to MAC Ice House and Manny’s Live Performance Space for hosting us and making it a great experience to play! Thanks to all who came and danced, especially the luau kids and crowds at both places. Tons of fun to watch! #livemusic #touringband #zapote #dawndrake #womanmusician
