Bit of a recent song before royally busting a bass

Bit of a recent song before royally busting a bass string. ‘Something might break if you push that far’, guess my lyrics got that part right, eh 😂 #shitthatsloud #brokenstring #musiciansofinstagram #caughtoncamera #harp #harps #harpsofinstagram #harpist #harpvideo #harplife #busted #singersongwriter

Like most birthdays this year, America’s celebra

Like most birthdays this year, America’s celebration is clouded by many harsh realities. COVID, National division and civil unrest weigh heavy. This is a heavy year in general. Change will take time, but what do we have, if not that? What better than to spend the time we do have bettering ourselves and those around us, our country? It won’t happen overnight, but this is America, and we can do anything if we put our hearts into it. ⠀

These are a few reminders immortalized in metal that I’ve made recently, my own tiny monuments to good over evil. Hand hammered stainless steel or silicon bronze rods on sterling chains, with one little gold fill bead on each. $90, $20 from each will be donated to @naacp or your charity of choice. If you’d like one and can’t afford it let’s see what we can work out, DM me <3 ⠀

“All we have is time”⠀
“Show up and be kind”⠀
“Black lives matter” ⠀

Just a quick shout out that @bandcamp is waiving their revenue share today, if you'd like to buy music to support your favorite independent artists, today is the day to do it! Typically they take %15 but today, %100 goes to artists. Link in bio to my page with all releases (all new singles and my 2018 album), or check out and support some of the other amazing musicians on there <3 photo by @holly.b.rose #bandcamp #musiciansofinstagram #harp #harpist #harplife #sanfrancisco #sf #sfmusic #sfmusicscene #musicinsf #singersongwriter

If you want an easy project don’t tune a piano.

If you want an easy project don’t tune a piano. Also I’m pretty sure my neighbors hate me now... Got this beater for free last year and worked on cosmetic stuff but only just built up the nerve to try tuning. I don’t play well (as evidenced ;) but a half step flat doesn’t help anyone. Shit takes FOREVER and I’m far from done but I’ll get there. It’s a good skill and sounds way better already so win win :) #sorrybaldwin #whatwasithinking #piano #project

So video shooting with canoes is a pain in the ass 😂 We managed to stay mostly upright but there’s a level of floating-object-coordination I am definitely lacking @casscleave #videoshoot #musicvideo #wellseehowthisturnsout #canoesaretippy #indiefolk #indiepop

Overalls I made recently from old Levi 501s, using cutoff fabric from the legs as front/back panels, straps and pockets. Snap side closure, and little leather patches (drawn on with a soldering iron) added for character. Black merino T made last year. Would love to hear, what’s on the drawing board for your creativity? #sew #overalls #memade #diywardrobe #fryeboots #suzukisamurai #suzuki #creativity #sewing #make #maker #makersgonnamake #levi501 #oldcars #fashiondesign #leather #solder

New tune I wrote this afternoon, trying to pull myself together after watching the live stream of George Floyd’s funeral.
My depression gets much of its fuel from the news, which I generally avoid to keep myself reasonably functioning and maintain a delicate balance of mental health. But these last few weeks have been different. I don’t want to ignore this. My privilege would let me, but I can’t turn a blind eye on the increasingly crushing systemic corruption in this country and the people most affected by it.
Breonna Taylor, Maurice Gordon, Ahmaud Arbery and countless others should not be dead right now. The systems are failing them, and with that they fail America. We should be outraged, and I encourage you to find your own way of using your voice. However big or little, we can all do something. So in the universal language of music, this one is for George, it’s called ‘9 minutes’. #georgefloyd #musicheals #harp #harpist #video #harpvideo #blacklivesmatter #speakup #8minutes46seconds #musicians #musicforchange #musiciansofinstagram #endsystemicracism

So proud of my little beach town. Peacefully protesting for justice, hundreds of people came out and 90% of passing cars honked, waved or smiled. The man talking in the 2nd video is our mayor of Half Moon Bay. We may be a small community, but folks showed up today, and for that my heart bursts. Change is a long haul and this is the good fight, stand up and be loud. #blacklivesmatter #peacefulprotest #standup #speakup #halfmoonbay

Put some frets on the banjo I made a few months back. Fretless was super fun but also super hard. Who knew? Just some brass fret wire haphazardly stuck on my vague guesstimation of where they should be but it’s working fine for the time being. #homemade #diy #banjo #clawhammerbanjo #oldtimebanjo #singersongwriter #musiciansofinstagram #wingit #frets #fretless

Not a bad spot to play some music. I’ve gathered all my song lyrics in a fancy new tab on my website with their associated videos because... shit, quarantine is boring.
