NEW MUSIC ALERT: I’m happy to announce a new Heartswarm track is now streaming (link in bio)! “Lost” is the third single from our slow-core five-piece. The song is a musing on need, provision, and the search the divine. The cover is special to me: a picture that my late father took of my sister Angel hiking though the forest in Colorado when we were kids. Somehow the image fits the music perfectly, while also depicting the journey my sister is currently on. #austinmusic #newmusic #slowcore #slowcoremusic #austinmusicscene

The last five years at @riverbendatx have been amazing. I’ve learned so much and played so many wonderful songs with so many wonderful people. I’m excited to see where the next five years take me and will always be thankful that @casey.mcpherson roped me into this whirlwind.

shout out to my boy @reynharpole for delivering tha word today at @riverbendatx

I'm excited to get to play some songs with @michaelgungor next week at @riverbendatx Smith Family Chapel, ticket link in bio

NEW MUSIC ALERT: I am excited to share this rendition of Psalm 82 as part of the new @cardiphonia compilation. Back in 2015 a congregant at @servantchurchtx sent me a live recording of a musical setting that @joel_littlepage made of this Psalm. We used it in liturgy a couple of times and I have always wished we did a real recording with @thegentlewolves. Flash forward a decade, @benedictfamtastic reached out regarding the new Psalm collection (my fifth to be part of) and I grabbed Psalm 82. It's been the perfect excuse to finally lay down a recording of Joel's fantastic composition. I ended up extending each verse and am please with how it came out. Link in the bio!
