Notes On Artist Process: I will be noting here, over the week, any details that come to mind about where I’m at in my Journey Home to the Stage.
Traveling Home To The Stage - Notes From Oct 4 2026. 7:50pm
• I consider this to be my first real job back. A year ago, we did just the one offs at Rose Hall and Avalon. It was exciting and wonderful, but that felt more like a team building exercise - and even a bit of an audition for me (even auditioning for myself, just to know what it took and felt like to be back up there again with real fans in the house).
• This feels like we’re starting to sail now. with several stops emerging and an epic next level destination on December 12th.
•It was an amazing feeling to be so taken care of by the festival producers. To be hired by music loving people - to just show up and do what I do best - is a dream come true.
• Overall I’m happy with my work here. It’s not that I hit every note perfectly. I’m still wearing many hats in production and such, so, knowing this is me at a my best when I’m overloaded with distractions, gives me courage to know what I’ll be able to do when our whole team fully kicks into high gear on the ground and I am able to focus on just rehearsing, writing and performing for a while.
Thank you for helping me get back to my career in commercial recording and touring. I’m so grateful to be given this chance to fly with a team of safe people who truly love my work.
