I’m so excited to be headlining my first ever @samfirstbar show May 28th 🥹

I’ve been goin to Sam First for the past four years to hang, play with, and listen to some of the heaviest musicians in the world - and I’m feeling very lucky to be able to add my voice into the mix.

This is a really defining year. This current era is crumbling, but it’s also making room for the new one. So many of my friends are releasing masterwork albums this year, and I intend to join them 🛰️
