I spent some time with Rock & Roll Hall of Famer @sherylcrow for our Jan/Feb Legends issue! “Telling the truth feels instinctual,” she tells me. americansongwriter.com/ameri…

My latest cover story is the September/October issue of @AmericanSongwriter with @SarahMcLachlan! She gets real about songwriting, the stories behind the songs on her excellent new album ‘Better Broken,’ Lilith Fair, imposter syndrome, and much more! americansongwriter.com/ameri…

The link to purchase tickets to my birthday benefit show for @countrymusichof is now live! Proceeds will go to the CMHOF's Words & Music program, which teaches 10,000 participants annually to write original song lyrics. Hope to see you there :-) tunehatch.com/shows/10590166…

Help me ring in another year in style -- with a benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville! Proceeds will go to the @countrymusichof’s Words & Music program, which teaches 10,000 students annually to write original song lyrics. More info below:

“Nightfall at the Hall,” presented by Maverick Nashville Management, is an after-hours party for Troubadour Members featuring cocktails, light bites, and a performance by @JordanCWDavis. Become a Troubadour Member to register for this September 16 event: countrymusichalloffame.org/c…

Doing research for a band bio (yes, I'm still writing!) and Google's AI Overview is incredibly inaccurate. The world still needs music journalists, editors, and fact-checkers IMHO despite what many publications' higher-ups think

A quarter century ago our lives changed forever when we released “I Want It That Way” and ushered in the Millennium era where you helped break sales records, chart records and attendance records and proved to the world that we truly have the best fans of all time! #BSB30

Super excited for Thursday, April 18, to catch @HaileyWhitters at the @CountryMusicHOF's Troubadour Kickoff! Troubadour members have exclusive access to the event, which features drinks, light bites, and a live performance. Join and learn more here: CountryMusicHallofFame.org/T…

Y’all be sure to get a copy of this month’s @AmerSongwriter! Honored to have been included in this issue as a guest editor…thanks @yousingiwrite for having me 🤠✍️

Today I bought tickets to see @aj_mclean of @backstreetboys and Joey Fatone of @NSYNC perform @theryman. Then I passed people heading to see @enriqueiglesias @pitbull & @ricky_martin. Feels like I’ve been transported back in time but I’m so here for it!

01. STRAIGHT LINE This is the song that kicks off an album I'm jonesing to share with you all. I chose it first for a lot of reasons, but particularly because I think it represents an energy and spirit that became a through line of the whole record. I'm gonna cover a lot of themes, emotions and vibes on this album but a very human spirit runs through them all. "Straight Line" is wanting to break out of a soul-sucking routine that you might be stuck in: maybe in a relationship, a job, with creativity, with yourself...whatever it is !! It’s a message of feeling alive again and getting out from under that dark cloud. If you’ve seen us in concert, I hope it gives you that same feeling. “Straight Line” is out now ! strm.to/StraightLine

Annie Up: American Songwriter Managing Editor Annie Reuter has joined the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum as Sr. Manager/Institutional Giving. Thanks, @CountryAircheck for sharing the news on my next chapter! countryaircheck.com/news/01-…

Pretty fitting my last day full-time at American Songwriter included writing about @jeffcohenmusic, one of the first songwriters I met when I moved to Nashville. “I will keep doing this until I can’t,” he tells me about #songwriting. Couldn't agree more! americansongwriter.com/jeff-…

One of my favorite interviews to date! I caught up with @thebrianfallon earlier this year to chat about @gaslightanthem's reunion, singing with @springsteen & songwriting. americansongwriter.com/the-g…

We loved getting to catch up with Annie at @AmerSongwriter & talk about our brand new holiday song, a look back at this year and what’s to come in 2024!! Check it out 😍❤️ americansongwriter.com/tigir…

Found myself dancing with a dog in a hospital room tonight while guiding a musician for @musiciansoncall. Always puts life in perspective after volunteering and seeing the power of music up close. 🐶🎶
