That’s a wrap! what a blast we had on the road with @mollytuttle 🪩✨thanks for having me! let’s do it again soon 🫶🏾
as a filmmaker, crafting a project’s visual framework is one of my favorite parts of the process. THE EXPRESS WAY is a celebration of the power of art. so it was important to elevate the artists’ craft beyond just capturing it. so i wrote what i called “special performances” that would encapsulate the story’s essence while simultaneously advancing the narrarive. for @amythystkiah, the special was for “wild turkey”, a haunting song about her mother’s suicide by alcohol. the idea was that amythyst goes to numb her pain in a bar that feels moody and underwater, symbolizing both sadness and alcohol. as she cathartically sings her song while moving through the bar, she processes her mother’s death. and by the end, she escapes the bar, foreshadowing escaping her own alcohol demise later in the story. the daisies also serving as a warning of death by alcohol. we also recorded all of the artists live as field recordings – no lip syncing or backing track – to ground these performances in the storytelling. so this rendition is unique from the master, just guitar and her powerful vocals. big love to amythyst for showing up on her first shoot day, trusting the process, and singing the song at least 2 dozen times. and her voice never cracked 🎤🎸

“In the pines, where the sun don’t ever shine…” ✨ Very excited to be bringing you new music. This one is special and i can’t wait for you to hear it. Presave link in bio.
The wait is over! “In the Pines” is now available for your ears! Before I fully embraced a career as a songwriter, I rearranged old time songs in college while studying American roots music. My arrangement of “In the Pines” is a callback to those formative years and my undying love of murder ballads. Listen now using the link in my bio and let me know what you think in the comments. Filmed by @plasticdiamonds @butchwalker @martinguitar @eartrumpetlabs @rounderrecords @concordofficial
It’s been a week since In The Pines was released! If you haven’t checked it out yet, head to the link in my bio and add it to your favorite playlist 🫶🏾
So excited to share that I will be on a new episode of #ExpressWayPBS with @dulehill tonight at 9/8c! Tune in and drop a comment once you see me on screen.
I’ve been to Savannah, GA many times over the years and it’s always a pleasure to perform there. Thank y’all for coming out, and thanks of showing so much love for the new songs! 🙏🏾 Photos by Ben Sheffield
