Bye bye tour. You were really great. You exceeded my expectations. Thanks to all the lovely humans and pets that made that true. Thanks to my patrons for making my art (and the sharing of it)possible. I'm heading home feeling so grateful and inspired.
Spider bite update - it got worse and now it's getting better. My theory is that it was a hobo spider. I'm not in danger - it's just gonna take time to heal... and I have to remember not to scratch it. (It's so itchy!!!!) I got some advice from herbalist friends and I've been taking lots of echinacea. I made a poltice from calendula, plantain, and yellow dock. I've covered the area in Manuka honey and bentonite clay. #hobospider #spiderbite #redwoods #funnelweb #funnelwebspider #echinacea #calendula #manukahoney #bentoniteclay #goldenseal #plantainmedicine
Tonight in Santa Cruz is the last show of tour with the babliest tourmate I've ever had. It's been so joyous to be on the road with this powerful human and songwriter. It is challenging in the best way and simultaneously easy but never boring. On our long drives we talk about personal growth and spiritual journeys - my favorite topics. "How bout them past lives?" It's been nearly a month. While I'm glad to go home to my pup and my buddies in New Orleans, I'm sad it's over. I didn't know what to expect from this tour - because it's been so long since I toured in the US. It was challenging in a lot of the ways I expected but it was also really beautiful. Despite being a total home body, I want to do more of it. Connecting with people through music and healing is worth all the long drives, restless sleeps, and gas station food. Come connect with us tonight at @thecrepeplace Tomorrow I'm playing a house show in Oakland. DM for details. Beautiful photo by @nunnink
