This is my favourite time of year, and this was one of my all-time favourite weekends spent with Martha, Ben & Josh.
October 2017: Autumn in Vermont, the state where Ben was born and raised with Josh & I experiencing it for the first time. We drove through Quebec on our way back home, another favourite place.
Harvest blessings to all! 🍁

Kelly Jefferson SLAYED yesterday’s solo overdubs at @HumberPoly’s studio. Benny is out of town and I felt in such good hands with lead engineer Ryan McNabb. 🧙
We’re getting closer to releasing a new single, but we’ll have to see what life has in store first.
More soon!
