All my favourite musical experiences have involved community, and on this most recent jaunt to the star-spangled land I have had the pleasure of adding to that list.
I've been a bunch of places, but musical collabs happened in Detroit and rural Michigan with my good friend Ben West (The Real Efforts of Real People) and in Jacksonville, Illinois with my favourite bearded man, Willliam Fitzsimmons (I'm actually in William's den right now as we're about to load the car and head to the airport).
I really want this next record to reflect my fondness for my musical family... something special happens when you meet and create with people who also value music as a facilitator of human connection and a forum for our humanity rather than a commercial enterprise.
This trip has been awesome, I've gotten out of a rut and I'm anxious now to get home and continue to work away at these little song people who are beginning to show their faces at last.
Only 30 more hours 'til I'm standing in my home again... Bring it!
Love and legitimacy,
Brooke
