june 2023: halfway through
if love was a year then we’re - wait, how is it already JULY?!
hey,
I’m a tad late to this month’s letter (sorry)… I wanted to wait to pair it with the announcement of my melbourne acoustic show today… but… it SOLD OUT as I was writing this (literally within an hour??!) so if you missed out, I’m sorry!! if you snagged tickets, thank you and I can’t wait to see you in a couple weeks <3
I hope you’re all doing well. there’s not a whole lot to report from june, though it was nice of them to name a month after our song... hahaha. things have been going steady. my fam went away on a road-trip for a couple weeks, so I was holding down the fort. Lara also went away with a couple friends, so I was truly on my own. although I missed everyone, it was kinda nice. I got my *chef* on and started cooking some banging meals, ngl. I’ve always enjoyed cooking here and there but never really taken pride in it. but putting a bit of time and effort into a good meal… damn that’s a good feeling. have you seen this guy on tiktok? this is me.
I spent most of the month chipping away at new songs. lots of writing with my friends Ollie (check out his music here, it’s beautiful) and Demi (who I wrote June & Still with.. the literal songwriting queen. we also celebrated her birthday which was fun!) and choosing which songs I want to work on to finish off… my hope is to have another couple tracks out before the end of the year, so I’m working to make that happen. I can’t wait to share them with you.
last week I played my first show in months, an acoustic set at the golden age cinema in sydney. it was so much fun. my friends Jerome, Sarah, Ollie and Eluera all joined me for a night full of songs, and it was such a cozy room - thank you for filling it out! I’m stoked to get to do it all again tomorrow night. if you missed out on tickets and want to come tomorrow, the venue have added a couple extra spots here. see you there!
and if you missed out or couldn’t make it to any of these, don’t fret. we’re planning some bigger shows with the full band soon… I’ll keep you posted.
until then,
much love x
