Goodbyes are tough. Goodbyes are even harder when you love the place and people you are saying goodbye to. Some of you know that just this week I packed up and set out for Nashville, Tennessee. About a month ago I got offered an opportunity in Nashville and decided to go for it. This was a tough decision because it meant leaving behind a place that I adore, but in the end I felt like it was the right call.

For those in Chicago reading this, I want to thank you for everything. Thank you for embracing me the way you have and for the lifelong friendships we forged. My time in Chicago has been a formative one. The first time I set foot in the city it felt like home and it still does to this day. I will greatly miss everything about it but I will be back often including later this summer for a show! Stay tuned.

I’ve been in Nashville one full day and have had a great time. I caught up with some old friends and went to a baseball game at Vanderbilt University. This morning I’m taking it easy after a busy week and the move. I got up and fed the chickens and am watching a storm blow in. Quite a different routine than I’m used to. I’ll keep you posted on this latest adventure!
