For a song with a central storyline around life changing in an instant, ‘Blink’ sure took a long time to be fully realized. I first put pen to paper after a period of writer’s block, and willed it into existence after giving myself permission to write a song that sucked. That song (about losing a dirty sock in the the dryer) cleared the cobwebs for what was to become ‘Blink’.

Once the first draft was in decent shape I brought it into a writing session with songwriter James Linderman, where we discovered the walking baseline that grounds the song. Next up… the demo.

Blink will be released on all streaming platforms April 29! Presave here: https://show.co/TVjBs4o

Thank you to ‘Just Us Folk’ for including ‘Planks and Marietta’ in last weeks show.
