I hope you’re managing to stay cool, calm, and collected in this Summer heat. This is just a quick tour update and a teaser announcement!
Fall 2026 Tour
Come fall, I will be touring in Texas and a few states in the Midwest. The October Texas shows are solo, though I would like to highlight that singer-songwriter Kiya Heartwood is on the bill for the Bryan, TX show at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brazos Valley. Some of you might remember Kiya as half of the duo Wishing Chair. I haven’t heard Kiya in quite some time, so I am very much looking forward to her set. And though I am psyched for all my shows, I am particularly excited to be performing on National Coming Out Day, October 11th, at the Princeton Palace in Austin, TX. The much-beloved Therapy Sisters run this garden venue. It’s an afternoon show and a good time will be had by all.
November finds me once again doing a set of shows with my brother-from-another-mother Joe Jencks. Musicians Corner House Concerts is in Newport, MN, which is the Twin Cities area, and Mequon, WI, home to the Wisconsin Singer Songwriter Series, is just north of Milwaukee. Joe and I much appreciate the Madison Folk Music Society presenting us again at the North Street Cabaret.
Michigan calls with shows in Bloomfield Hills at MAMA’s Coffeehouse, and the tour segment rounds out with a Sunday afternoon show at The Ark in Ann Arbor. Please, PLEASE spread the word on The Ark show in particular. The Ark does not normally do afternoon shows, but Joe and I lobbied that our audience would really appreciate a bit of relief from always having a night drive to events. Check out my concerts page for more information and links to all of these shows.
A New Release Coming In September!
For the first time in my entire career, I am releasing a SINGLE! The song is called Believe In Kindness and is scheduled to be available for listening and digital download purchase on September 4th.
No, there is not a new album in the works. Believe In Kindness has resonated well with audiences and I’ve come to feel its moral posture (as June Jordan calls it) is one that internally and externally we need to constantly affirm. We are in the 2026 mid-term election cycle; before and after November 3rd things will get harder. Music has the ability to heal and empower; Believe In Kindness is an unabashed assertion of what we value in this world.
Julie Wolf produced and played keyboards. Joe Jencks added bouzouki and backing vocals. Vicki Randle also added backing vocals along with percussion and guitar. Closer to the Believe In Kindness release date I’ll send out another email with more details so if you want to get updated sooner sign up on the bottom of this page for my email newsletter!
