I have a brand new family music album coming out later this summer and I can’t wait to share it with you. It’s a collection of sparkly, nostalgic, acoustic-pop songs featuring Elizabeth Mitchell, Molly Ledford of Lunch Money, Morgan Taylor of Gustafer Yellowgold, Chris Ballew of Caspar Babypants (and the Presidents of the United States of America) and is produced by the amazing Dean Jones.

Super excited to set this one free….AUGUST 6.
