Alright, enough guessing! I’m so excited to announce that I’m teaming up with @bendwesty as I head toward Descend On Bend October 5-8. I’ll be sharing a night of music alongside @thelastrevel and @the_coteries that Saturday night, and will be rolling in style all weekend in a beautiful Westy. Whether you live in a van, own a van, or even just like vans, I hope you’ll join us for an unforgettable event. And check out Bend Westy if you’d like to rent one of these beauties for the weekend. Visit @descendonbend to register and we’ll see you in October!

How often do you do laundry?

Every few weeks, or whenever it’s offered on the road.

What was the last movie that you really loved?

Inside Out. It gives me all the feels, and I cry every time.

If you could re-live one year of your life, which would it be and why?

So far 2017 has been the most magical. I traveled to some of my favorite places in the world, spent time with people I care the most for, and recorded my dream album in Nashville.

 

Farewell Mad Valley Lodge. It’s been a long time now since I landed in the attic bedroom that became my home here, and it feels strange to be leaving. Thank you for the years of love and joy and friendship created in this space. Xx

What’s your go-to comfort food?

Kraft Mac n Cheese with tuna. I promise it’s not gross.

Kombucha — love it or hate it?

Hate it. After seeing a bunch of friends make their own, I’ll never get over the sight of the mother.

Mustard or mayo?

Mustard. Spicy, preferably.
