Thank you so much, @BarackObama for putting ‘Seventeen’ on your amazing playlist! Means the WORLD! Miss you! X.
With summer winding down, here’s a sampling of what Michelle and I have been listening to — some new, some old, some fast, some slow. Hope you enjoy.

Dear Angel, .You are a role model to those who have experienced trauma and are learning to harness the struggle and the grief and use it for good. You have a great power in expressing the search for solace and the yearning for something more … while also finding the peace in …

I have loved @AngelOlsen's music for a long time. She has sent me inspirations and support in my high and lows along the way. I never thought I would get the courage to send her an unfinished song and ask her to do a duet with me and here we are.

It is with tears in my eyes that I share with you my love letter to NYC. Places I've lived, lost and found myself, let go of and embraced. Thank you to everyone that held me up over the years. Here is 'Seventeen', directed by the incredible Maureen Towey.

Dear @DollyParton , if you haven’t heard @AngelOlsen’s new album ‘Big Time’, I think you would love it and I think you should sing together. Y’all have the best voices and lyrical turnarounds. Big fan! X.

And somehow this is where the Serpents journey began … @aarondessner had asked me if I had any rock songs to share, so I shared an early demo with him, which turned into the song you all know today. #Tramp11

hi friends,. Are We There turns 10 this year, which has had me reflecting on so many things . am I where I thought I would be in my 40s? how did we expect our lives to unfold over 10 years? from when I wrote the record to now, so much has changed. everything has changed.

I miss the days of waiting for a new record to come out, without hearing anything until then. I’d run to the store, invite friends over and hold the record in my hands, read the lyrics, the credits, listen from start to finish and hear the album in the way the artist intended.

I rarely do tutorials, but this is one of those songs that fans have asked me about … I get a little embarrassed since it’s deceptively simple. It’s only 3 chords but the trick is the holds and the turnarounds between chorus and verse. Full tutorial is up on TikTok ! #Tramp11

Another memorable first for me during Tramp was getting asked to play @Newportfolkfest in 2012. Newport is a unique place and this performance of Serpents holds a special place in my mind. This visit led to many more trips to the fort where I was welcomed by such a passionate

Courtney Barnett has been an important musical influence on me since 2014, when we first met at the Neptune Theatre in Seattle. From the first time we met, I felt like I made an immediate friend.

To honor that sentiment and those that still believe in the concept of what a record can mean to the individual, I wanted to give that same opportunity to the listener to engage with this collection of songs the way I imagined, without being teased singles up to the day it is out.

Wow. This guy seems cool.
Much of what I dislike about indie music is on display in @sharonvanetten’s new cover of Femme Fatale. I’m so glad I let go of thinking that blunted, morose-for-no-reason sound says something to me and surrendered to the magic of pop.

From beginning to end, this album is an emotional journey that documents the rollercoaster of the last two years we have all experienced in our own ways. I hope you will take that ride with me. Thank you for staying by my side. x Sharon.

A few songs of mine, including "Let Go," are featured in the new @netflix show MAID. I'm floored by how many songs have been used in the show. I feel understood when my songs are used as such an intimate channeling of a character whom I closely relate to. Such a powerful story.

throwback to Later with Jools Holland 2014, during the Are We There era. So many fond memories from live shows back then…. so nostalgic to revisit that point in time. Now I’m in my 40’s… hard to believe. What to look forward to in your 40s ???
