about

Living in a hole in Cincinnati my whole life hasn't gotten me a lot more than mental illness and an acclimation to hills but it's part of me so I tried my best to dump as much of the area's vibes into this project as I could.

All the thanks in the world to all of the friends and family and the Ray of sunshine that have all been unbelievably supportive and patient while I threw this thing together. And to you, I love you and I'm proud of you. Unless you're like, a tool. In which case I appreciate the stream but maybe reconsider a few things.

BIG BIG PROJECT INSPO: Portugal. The Man, The Flaming Lips, St. Vincent, Steve Lacy, Slothrust, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Japanese Breakfast, Foxy Shazam, Rilo Kiley, The Black Keys, The Arcs, The Wild Reeds, Portugal. The Man, PUP, Melody's Echo Chamber, The Dixie Narcos, Ezra Furman, The Harpoonist & The Axe Murderer, Crumb, Father John Misty, Modest Mouse, The Avett Brothers, Cage The Elephant, Tame Impala, Arcade Fire, SKATERS, Passion Pit, Portugal. The Man, Gorillaz, Portugal. The Man and viewers like you. Thank you!
