In August 2023, I gathered a group of my friends and we sang some of my song circle songs together. I wanted to capture the feeling of socially singing with friends in a living room, so that’s what we did. It was a wonderful afternoon of music, and the feeling of community in the space was tangible. I hope some of the joy of singing with friends I felt that day comes through in these recordings.

In the summer of 2021, my college friends Lena, Regan, and I rented a cabin in the woods of Wisconsin for 5 days. While we were there, we wrote and recorded a 6 track EP. It was such a fun trip.
We didn’t end up finishing the mix and master for 2 years, but it’s finally out in the world! I had so much fun making these songs. I love how the three of us bring together our musical perspectives to make something that sounds like all of us and none of us at the same time.

Ketchum, ID Cover
Lena, Regan, and I love to play music when we get together, and on our most recent visit we recorded this video of us covering Boy Genius’ Ketchum, ID. I feel so lucky to make music with these friends.
This year, I had a lot of fun making “virtual choir” Christmas carols with my sister and friends scattered across the country. Since we couldn’t be together due to the pandemic, we each recorded our part separately and then put it together after the fact. Such a fun project!

Christmas Matters Holiday Carolers
This fall I became a member of Christmas Matters Holiday Carolers, a professional caroling ensemble in Los Angeles. We are a group of about 40 local singers who learn a huge book of choral christmas arrangements and are hired out in quartets to sing at holiday celebrations and other events. We wear Victorian-esque costumes when we sing, it’s a ton of fun! I loved learning the music and singing together with lots of wonderful people.
I’m so proud to announce the release of my first EP, created together with Kevin Allswede.
