Pre-Orders for “Light and Matter” Music and Merch are LIVE! Check out my store page to get your “Put in the Work” hat, “Good Company” T-Shirt (in Black/Pink or Maroon/Blue) and CD or Vinyl! I LOVE these merch designs by Jud Haynes!! We had so much fun putting together ideas - I literally laughed out loud at the concept of a camo hat with my name in metal fond…. it's so campy and funny and perfect for this collection of songs and this moment in time.
The T-Shirt is a beautiful representation of many of the album's lyrics - the big beautiful sky, Ontario pine forests, swimming in the lake, a sweet dog and an afternoon with friends. It feels like camp summer in Ontario I'm so happy how everything turned out!
I will be shipping out pre-sales the week the album is out, in the second half of October! Thank you so much for your orders in advance - they help me literally pay for “Light and Matter” and all the associated costs with making an album.
THANK YOU!!!

Announcing “Light and Matter”, my new solo album, to be released October 23rd. Produced by my friend Joshua Van Tassel and distributed by Outside Music.
I’m so proud of this record - I loved all of the little coincidences that led me to make this music at this particular time, with a group of people that I adore, on a planet I’m in love with, under a sky that gives me so much wonder and joy.
Light and Matter is an album that ponders a sense of place. I’m very moved by the poetry of Mary Oliver, who finds divinity in nature and tells us we must “pay attention, be astonished, and tell about it.”
That spirit of astonishment is embedded in this project as well - of looking, of being aware and finding yourself in awe of the absolute beauty of a night sky, or the colour of a river, your sister’s strength, or even the dogs sitting on the couch. I hope you find a piece of yourself in these songs, it was really so joyful to make this record.
You can pre-order the digital album, the CD and Vinyl via @bandcamp or my store page.
The first single, “Make it Happen” is out today! You can listen to it on your favourite streaming service HERE.
I hope you love it, and more to come xo
