Recording my next album I decided to do things a little differently. Rather than record the whole album at once, instead, I wrote the first half (which we've just finished recording) we'll mix those songs during the year, and then I'll start writing the second half of the album.

I'd been writing songs whilst living in different cities around the world, places I'd never been, and found the experience rejuvenating, not only in terms of creation but for the soul.

So there'll be no album out any time soon, and now that I've finished my recent tour you may not see me for a while, but know that I'll be doing something I love and I hope you are too 🖤

🌿🌞 What an unforgettable weekend! Huge thanks to Americana on the Bellarine and to everyone who came out to catch the event! 🙏🔥 The heat didn’t stop us from feeling the love and energy from the crowd.

To those who also came to see me in Torquay on Sunday, I had an incredible time reconnecting with you, a very special weekend.

Americanafest 2024 was a beautiful way to close this last chapter in my life. Now to take a little time off the road to reflect on the memories before the next journey.

It was an honour to be an Official Showcasing Artist amongst some of the world's finest artists and I thank Americanafest for that opportunity.

Thank you to my band, my team behind the scenes, all who came to the shows and anyone who took the time to talk, you made it a festival I'll always remember. Thank you also to The New Zealand Music Commission and Sounds Australia for having my back, it means a lot. 'Til next time Nashville 🖤
