the rutabega

hi friends.

just a quick note to say thanks to everyone who has listened to the i'm proud of you, kid EP. we were able to raise @ $75 thanks to your generous donations, and i'll be sending that out within the next week. I'M PROUD OF US.

related, i was surprised this morning to see that the wonderful Rosy Overdrive had included the EP in their Pressing Concerns post today. from that post:

"Sometimes goofy, sometimes quite earnest (sometimes both), I’m Proud of You, Kid has a hand-made, patchwork quality to it that holds it together even as Hensley hops from one idea to the next."

it's awfully nice to feel seen. you can read the whole thing here if you're interested (make sure to poke around the blog, you're sure to find some new music that you'll love).

lastly, i recently borrowed some lovely gear from Doty for some recording inspiration. part of the stash was a baritone guitar and i've barely put it down. here's a live video of me playing an early rutabega song on this beast:



the world is a mess, but you're not alone.

XO,
