This weekend I’m heading to Tie One On Taphouse in Thomas, West Virginia—a town that feels like a front porch with a view of forever. Every time I play a show, the setlist shifts just a little. I shape it around the space, the people, and the kind of night I hope we all walk away remembering.
Some of these songs are unreleased, still raw from the writing room, and it means a lot to share them live for the first time. Here’s what I’m packing in the guitar case for this one—and why.
🎶 “Stop It” (Unreleased)
A sharp-edged breakup anthem wrapped in wit. It’s all about reclaiming your power when someone’s spent too long trying to grind it down. A crowd favorite in the making—loud, honest, and cathartic.
🎶 “Heartbreak and Trouble” (Unreleased)
This one’s pure grit and gravel. A tale of bad luck, worse decisions, and the consequences that come kickin’ in your door. There’s humor in the heartbreak, and it always gets a reaction.
🎶 “Long Line of Rust” (Unreleased)
A generational reckoning. This song speaks to inherited struggle—cycles of work, wear, and quiet hurt. But it’s also about breaking free and not letting your past write your future. Probably the heaviest one in the set.
🎶 “The Consumption Blues” (Unreleased)
Bluesy, bold, and biting. This song pokes at the empty promises of consumer culture. Spoiler: “I got enough” becomes a battle cry by the last chorus.
🎶 “Naked on New Year’s Eve” (Coming 2025)
A cheeky duet about champagne mistakes and moments that matter more than they should. It’s flirty, funny, and probably the only song I’ve written that features Memorial Day as a potential follow-up date. Releasing later this year, but you can catch it early on this tour.

🎶 “I’m So Proud” (Released 2024)
This one’s out in the world already, and it’s one I always look forward to playing. It’s about the quiet victories—the hard-earned kind that don’t come with applause but change everything. A love letter to growth, perseverance, and personal pride.

If you’re making your way to Thomas this weekend, I hope this gives you a little something to look forward to. And if a song hits you just right—catch me after the show and tell me about it.
Music is meant to be shared.
