We are so looking forward to your show Carolina. 🤩

Can’t wait to get back to the The Carleton on November 12! Back in 2018 I had my first ever Carolina East show, so getting back there means so much to me. It’s also going to be my first “away from home” gig in 2 years (almost met Jesus you see, but I’ll tell you all about that at the show) excited to share the stage with my great friends Steve Randell and damianfollettmusic with Andy Jordan doing the front of house for us! I am going to be trying out a lot of new material from my next record too…. Can’t wait for you to hear what Cory Tetford and myself have cooked up! Please spread the word!
