• “Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness” ... Maya Angelou

Increasingly grateful for the soothing salve that music brings. Even more grateful for being a conduit of its sweetness.
Thanks for sticking with me, y’all.
Most sincerely

  • If there were a word, I could sew into the fabric of this new year, for me, it would be “Intention”
I intentionally wanted a capture of these shows with @marcbroussard, to be the first for the year.
To set the intention for this years journey ...
The boys and I had a hell of a time at @thefunkybiscuit, as support - and we’re graciously looking forward to coming back!  #kristopherjames #marcbroussard #thefunkybiscuit #intention

  • Though the holidays bring an ebb and flow of joy, sadness, excitement, stresses, magic and melancholy- reflecting on the extraordinary moments, that make the waning year a memorable one - can steady the wavering on to gratefulness.
Grateful for the privilege of playing music with this musical community,  it’s a rag-tag type of family and we all are better for it. 
Cheers

  • I LOVE MY F.R.I.E.N.D.S!!! Speaking of, I wanted to say thank you, for your support this year.
Independent musicians, like myself, survive because of people like YOU, who support them.
We don’t have labels with monetary backing, we don’t have agents and managers to help juggle the day to day and make connections.
We do all of that on our own ...
And a big help, if YOU - following out social median accounts, listening and sharing our music and coming out to the shows we play!! THAT keeps us doing what we believe we’re meant to do!
So thank you, my F.R.I.E.N.D.S, for believing and for actively participating.

  • I remember when I would look in the mirror and resent the person looking back at me.
He felt hollow, shallow, unavailing ...
It’s taken years of self-reflection, acceptance, intention and life to be comfortable as the person I am, presently ...
For that, I am unwaveringly thankful.
To be comfortable with who I am.
To be at peace with the fallible man, human, soul that makes up my essence.
I am thankful - truly thankful. 
Come Saturday, I’ll do my best to bare that thankfulness, singing songs with my friends and family at Folk Yeah!! It starts tomorrow night and ends with an alter call of sorts, Saturday night at @willspub ... come and give thanks.
