If you ever wondered what a day in the life of a quarantined singer/songwriter looks like, wonder no more. This video features Stella dog tricks, a Ginger Snap cocktail recipe, and a very sticky self-inflicted pre-concert disaster.

Back in the days of touring, I'd occasionally set my phone on the stage to record a live show.
This live clip is from June 2014, when I toured with the great Aoife O'Donovan on the West Coast.

Early Access: Christmas Is When I Miss Us
The inspiration: I started writing this in 2016... on the piano... and the only thing that's stayed the same over the years is the chorus. I started writing this a month after a serious breakup. Nobody likes to be single at Christmastime! We had spent the previous Christmas in Ireland and it was one of ...

This summer I was re-introduced to Vince Gill's stunning version of this song. I immediately knew it was the cover I wanted to include on A Little Magic. Could there be a song more fitting for the times? This song was a balm for my soul, and I hope it can be the same for you.
The recording process on this one was unique.... 2020-11-30 01:42:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Hi Lizards!
I hope your Thanksgiving filled you up in every way!
As I'm sure you can relate, our holiday looked different this year but Patryk, Stella, Gryff (golden-doodle here for the week) and I enjoyed the low key day. On our morning walk, we took turns expressing gratitude for the silver linings of this year. <...

Hi Lizards! I made you a playlist of songs that I've collaborated on that you may not know! Below I've shared a little bit about each one. Hope you enjoy listening.
Early Access: A Holiday Show I'm Ho Ho Hoping Gets You In the Spirit
I'm telling you first...
My dream of a holiday show has come true. Two of my favorite artists - BARNABY BRIGHT and MAGGIE ROSE have said YES to doing an online show, in-the-round on Zoom on Dec 16th. I wanted to tell you first, before we announce it to the rest of the world. It'll be a holiday theme, so ge...

Hi friends!
It's time for another unreleased song. I hope this one puts a pep in your step!
This is one that I've always wished found its way in the world. I wrote this song with the ultra-talented singer-songwriter Christian Lopez. He's a triple threat with all the guitar skills, vocal skills and songwri...

You're hearing it first! Gettin' Away For The Holidays is Track 4 on 'A Little Magic'!
Two years ago, my family and I decided to dodge all our holiday traditions and get on a plane. We skipped the parties, the presents, the big dinner, the Christmas card photos... and we went to Paris. It was our first and only inter...

You're hearing it first! Feels Like Christmas is Track 3 on 'A Little Magic'!
This song is the first Christmas song I ever penned, and it's all thanks to a family in California who chose the "personalized song" on my 2012 Kickstarter campaign! They wanted a song that summed up their Christmas trad...
2020-10-28 22:42:59 +0000 UTC View PostEarly Access: A Little Magic
You're hearing it first! 'A Little Magic' is Track #1 from A Little Magic (out Dec 4th).
This idea for this song came in 2015. The first line ("how is Santa ever gonna find us here in this little old town?") popped into my head as I was preparing for a Christmas trip to Ireland. I had never spent Christmas...

Until yesterday, I had completely forgotten about this song. I had actually already chosen the unreleased song I would be sharing with you. BUT... yesterday I got an email asking if an artist named Fiona Culley could put this song on "hold" for her upcoming album. When an artist puts a song on hold, it ...

You're hearing it first! 'One Missing' is Track #2 from A Little Magic (out Dec 4th).
Who knows where songs come from, or why... but the inspiration for this one was like a winding road. I had to just follow it and see where it took me. The chorus came first. I was writing about a dear friend from my...

The bonus song from 'Funeral For My Past'!
In fall of 2017, I wrote this song about how I felt about love at the time. "It's overrated."
You could say I was jaded. :)
Twelve songs were recorded, mixed & mastered for Funeral For My Past, Overrated included! I wrote this song before almost all the songs...
