2.25.25

I just added 2 shows in Arizona opening for the Old 97s at the end of March. Looking forward to that! I love Flagstaff, I spent time there once but never performed. And now I'm thinking I must have played Tuscon once, because I have a memory of driving through there, gosh I really don't have a good memory.

Tour with Jenny begins Friday in Seattle but I am already halfway up the coast to get there. Decided to grant myself 3 days in the redwoods rather than just passing through. I love it here. I wonder if I'll ever get to really live here. I feel so beholden to the city, where my people are, where my industry is. I can always come back up here to visit and retreat from time to time.

This is the final week of recording before mixing. I keep finding vocals to redo. Had some additional hearing loss this November and January. Recorded a lot of the vocals with broken headphones, which messed with my pitch, which I thought was the hearing loss and my new reality. Realized my heaphones were broken and got new ones, pitch problem gone. Now I'm re-singing half the record. Every little part. As if it didn't already take long enough. Racing to finish before I leave next weekend for tour, racing so it comes out this year.
