<p>The latest single from Daisy O’Connor’s band is pretty much the song of social distancing. Recorded at Public Hi-Fi (aka “the Spoon studio”) before quarantine, they didn’t realize how relevant the song would become to lonely hearts around the globe. “Is it wrong? / is it right? / can I be your evergreen tonight?” Daisy lilts the question we ask ourselves when deciding if connection is worth the risks involved. </p>
<p>Evergreen is a song for the green part in all of our hearts- the part that is always a beginner, that never quite gets the calculations right with love. As we continue the seemingly endless walk around the block that is the “together-alone” lifestyle, may this song be with you to shine some light through the darkness. </p>

I put down my guitar and sang an acappella song about my childhood dog getting hit by a car. What a terrifying rush- just my voice and the microphone, snapping my fingers to a silent room of listeners. Listeners who got it. Listeners who came up after the show and shared stories of their losses, chaos and pain. And we laughed together!<br><br>I love this light we carry as humans. Life is messy- we bend, break, and heal. We smile and love big. We are in this together and I'm honored to get to share my light in the best listening rooms in Austin, TX and beyond. <br><br>Let's do the things that scare us and love to tell the tales.
