What do you hope for?
I’m hoping for a future where we are free to be ourselves, and can feel safe, seen, and loved by those around us. Free of hate, free of fear, free of barriers and limitations put on us by an administration that refuses to see so many of us human.
This second presidency has been really tough on so many of us, and I’ve taken to writing to process many of these emotions. These emotions have turned into songs that I’ve been sharing with you all at shows around Chicago over the past year or so!
Now these songs have been recorded, mixed and mastered into an album we can all enjoy together - KEEP ON HOPING!!

Working on this album has been really exciting, and the band and I have put so much love into it. I have so much love and gratitude to everyone who helped bring these songs to life and brought them to the finalized versions I’ve been singing along to in my car over the past few months. And soon, you’ll get to also!!
Keep on Hoping will hit Bandcamp June 26th, and will hit streaming July 4th!!
Keep on Hoping goes on Tour!!!
We are so happy to share we’ll be traveling to a few new and familiar spots over the summer to share this music with you all! Touring with us are Sports Radio and Denim Daisy!!
I’m especially excited to meet so many of the indie artists I’ve gotten to connect with over the past few months in putting this together, including Rachel Eve, Valentina Sounds, Passing Roadkill, Ben Stopfel, Almost Exactly Like Julia, Big Ruth, The Castros, KP & The WLG’s, The Buckle Inn’s, and Wasp Eater!
Come on out to a show for a special friendship bracelet and more <3
We will be ending our tour in Chicago at Subterranean with Jennifer Femme and Shannon Marie on July 14th!! Chicago turn up!!
Tickets are all available on my website!
Do you see your city here? Come on out!! Let us know all the best spots!
Keep on Hoping gets a T-Shirt!
I have never done a t-shirt before, but I think it’s time! The shirt will have the album cover on it, and be a memory of all of this - making the songs, working on them with the band, sharing them with you!
Presale for the shirt ends on Monday! I want to figure out what people are looking for in a shirt so I can order just the right amount :) Once the presale ends, I’ll place an order and mail out the shirts as soon as they’re ready! (It may be about a month)
All in all - so much is going on and my mind is spinning in the best way! There is so much to be grateful for, and so much to look forward to!
Let me know - what are you looking forward to this summer?
