I didn’t expect this song to hit #1. But it did. #1 Best Seller – Country. #1 Hot New Release – Country. On Amazon. This week. When Mads Tolling added his violin part, the whole track shifted. It felt haunting. Raw. Like the song finally said what it needed to say. Y Knot? And you streamed it. You made it real. If you haven’t heard it yet— now’s the time. Link in bio. Y Knot? Let’s keep this burning manšŸ”„ burning.

It’s here! Y Knot is officially out now on all streaming platforms. This one’s personal—a dusty, heart-sick anthem born from playa nights, bad decisions, and the wild beauty of Burning Man. All in the award-winning art car built by my dear friend (guess who). If you’ve ever said ā€œwhy not?ā€ when you knew better… If you’ve ever chased closure and ended up with chaos... This song is for you. šŸŽ§ Stream it now—especially on Spotify. Add it to your heartbreak playlists. Blast it from your (art) car. Let it ride. Let’s see how far this one can go. Hit the link in bio, and turn it up loud. Y Knot? #YKnot #NowStreaming #SpotifyFirst #RipGerber #NewMusicRelease #BurningManAnthem

I didn’t plan to write this song. But last September, during the height of the U.S. election cycle, I found myself overwhelmed by one repeating thought: ā€œWhat if that were my child in the DariĆ©n Gap?ā€ That lawless jungle stretch between Colombia and Panama has become a deadly path for migrants—many of them unaccompanied children—seeking hope at the U.S. border. What they often find instead is unimaginable suffering, and a system that repeatedly fails them. So I wrote ā€œHappy It’s Not Meā€ā€”a protest song against the broken immigration policies that leave these kids vulnerable to trafficking, abuse, and silence. And I couldn’t keep it to myself. Every single stream and purchase of this song supports Special Operations | Finding Kids, an incredible nonprofit organization that rescues missing and exploited children. #findingkids #immigration #usborder #savingkids #newmusic šŸŽ§ Listen here: ffm.to/hinm

My latest single is about to drop. "Happy It's Not Me" takes aim at society's failures that propagate the increasing number of missing and trafficked children in this country. Pre-save it here: ffm.to/hinm
