This one’s for all the parents who aren’t sure they’ll survive another year of trick or treating. 🐈🐓👶🎃
If you’re on the Big Island, I’d love to see you this Saturday, October 17, at 6 PM at Uila Records in Waimea. I’ll be playing songs from my forthcoming album, Sea Queen, and sharing the stories behind them, backed by the handsome Buchholz brothers.
See you Saturday.
Sea Queen is out November 5th on MDDN Records.
I can’t wait for you to hear it.
I’m pressing a small run of vinyl and CDs, which you can pre-order now. They ship mid to late November. ❤️🙏

I wrote this chorus wondering if the longing for the bright place might be its own kind of reassurance. I still don't know.
City Lights is out now. It's a bit of a desperate song. I'm glad to have made it, and thankful for everyone who helped bring it to life.
Narrative folk is my favorite kind of songwriting: @springsteen “Highway Patrolman,” @bobdylan “Hurricane,” @joshritter “Girl in the War.”
City Lights is my take on that tradition. Out now.

Tell me the @springsteen reference in this song/clip and I’ll send you a free album t shirt.
Shot on a camera from 1985, because the “vintage” filters couldn’t quite cut it. Thanks to @bigislandstudiosofficial for the idea. Watch the full “City Lights” video here:

I'll send a free T-shirt to the first person who finds the two Boss references in it. Comment or DM!

A friend's anniversary invitation asked us to bring a toast and answer a question: how does love move from the first kiss to year twenty?

In South Africa the lesson arrives early: you look away from the man begging on the pavement, or you realize the only difference between you and him is what you inherited. substack.com/@lukebeling/not…
Agassi hated tennis. He also won eight majors. I think about that more than I should as a tennis pro with four daughters.

The Festival of 1000 Bowls returns to the Donkey Mill Art Center on Saturday, Sept 26. Excited to be a small part of it.
Who are we when we begin to lose who we thought we were?
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Big Island Book Festival, and to @konastories for hosting.
Here’s a short passage from my novel, The Field of Plenty. Mitch, my protagonist, has just lost the thing he was.
I think I'm going to throw $200 on Minnesota to win the Super Bowl, which I promised my wife I wouldn't do again.
