introducing ... the love me in september TOUR! ๐Ÿฅ€๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’›

Hello, my dearest readers!

Itโ€™s been a while, I know. Itโ€™s been a summer, Iโ€™ll tell you THAT. Some of which I can talk about, and some of which youโ€™ll have to just keep an eye out for another email about. ๐Ÿ˜‰ In short, I turned 27, crossed as many things off my summer bucket list as possible (if you want to stay til the end of the email, Iโ€™ll include a lil summer recap slideshow hehe), took a mini vacation to Ireland (๐Ÿ˜‰), and Iโ€™m more ready than ever to tie up the last loose ends of the season and step into my full power, aka FALL. ๐Ÿ

If you havenโ€™t listened to my new song โ€œlove me in septemberโ€ yet (which, if youโ€™re a newsletter subscriber, Iโ€™m SURE you have), autumn is my PRIME. TIME. The fashion, the food, the activities, the holidays, the crisp warm September air โ€“ it juices me up like a can of spinach does to Popeye. So while I'm at full power, Iโ€™M GOING ON TOUR! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ‘ป

โ€ฆokay, Iโ€™m playing in two cities. ๐Ÿคช But โ€œlove me in septemberโ€ is all about being delulu and staunchly self-confident, so thatโ€™s what weโ€™re doing. In addition to playing Arleneโ€™s Grocery in my current home of NYC, I am overjoyed to be playing at Kung Fu Necktie in my hometown of Philadelphia! We even have support from Sadie Leigh at the Philly show, a positively kick-ass performer I met all the way back in high school. Itโ€™s a real hometown treat! ๐Ÿฅณ

Tickets for both shows are available NOW, so donโ€™t hesitate! I know as well as anyone that the fall (ESPECIALLY September) can fill up fast. Put us in your calendar before itโ€™s too late! And as always, please email or DM if you are interested in sponsoring a ticket for a music lover that couldnโ€™t otherwise afford a ticket. They always go to use and they are always appreciated! ๐Ÿ’ธ

Iโ€™m so excited to see you all at our September shows. AAAAHHHH! ๐Ÿคฉ Get ready for full-length sets and cute little fall outfits and a few fun covers sprinkled into the originals you know (and the ones you might not!!!!). Put on that cute September ensemble youโ€™ve been dying to wear all summer and spend a reasonable midweek evening with us (promise weโ€™ll be done by 10 ๐Ÿ˜š). In the meantime, study up by streaming โ€œlove me in september,โ€ which just passed its first 1,000 streams on spotify!

Thanks as always for reading and HAPPY FALL! ๐Ÿงก

โ€ฆalright, now that itโ€™s just us here at the end of the email, please enjoy my little summer recap slideshow. ๐Ÿฅฐ Thanks for reading. love u
