Hello friends,

2026 is here, whether we're ready or not! I hope the new year finds you with openness and curiosity about the path forward. I, for one, am looking forward to the journey this year brings. 

I have a diverse bunch of gigs to kick off live performances in January. At a glance, with ticket links where applicable:

Tuesday, January 6, 8pm - Five Points Jazz Collective at the Mason Lounge

Friday, Januray 9, 8pm - Driveway Thriftdwellers album release show at The Bur Oak (with Joseph Huber)

Thursday, January 15 - Don't Mess With Cupid at Gamma Ray (with Wurk)

Friday, Januray 16, 9pm - Lonelyproof at Harmony Bar (with Educational Davis)

Saturday, Janary 17, 9:30am, 11am, and 1pm - Panchromatic Steel at Kids in the Rotunda, Overture Center lobby

Saturday, January 17, 7pm - Panchromatic Steel at Seminole Tap

Saturday, January 24, 7:30pm - Driveway Thriftdwellers at Anodyne Coffee, Milwaukee (with The Unrulies)

In solo news, I am hard at work mixing an EP of songs leftover from my previous album, The Hum. It was a particularly fruitful period, and when I was putting together the album, there was some material that just didn't quite fit into the flow. Listening back now, I am really happy with the songs that didn't make the cut. It feels strange that they've sat on my hard drive for so long! I'm very excited to get this music out there so I can be free of the past and move on to what's next. Speaking of which, visions for a new full-length solo album are slowly emerging from the mist. I'll be able to put more focus into it once the EP is done.

That's all for now. Wishing you health and happiness,

Kyle
