Thoughts after a lovely weekend of magic shows. ⚡️✨💥 Dropped a new song today on Bandcamp called “Ghost of the Coast” and I hope it finds you spookily. 👻 If you were thinking of preordering my record (or even buying a 5 buck sticker) - it all helps. 💙 graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

Hey pals. Happy Friday and happy new song day. “Teenage Memory Machine” is a pretty heavy personal song and I hope it hits you in all the feels and takes you on as much of a journey listening as it did for me during the writing. 🔗 below. 💚💙💜❤️ youtu.be/GEwtb6_xF_k?...

Hey pals! Amidst many irrelevant old white people whining about a rad+unifying halftime show 🐰 I still put out a new song. “Cigarette” is a real jangly prairie folk rambler that features some Winnipeg references. My pal Melissa aced this one 💚 preorder/listen: graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Friendoes. Liking Bluesky more and more and I’m super thankful to still connect with the folks on here who like my music. Track 4 is up now on Bandcamp. Deep State is an alt country fuzz rock banger. It’s Bandcamp Friday so your support means the world. 💚💙❤️💜 graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

Pals. Happy Monday. Here is song 3 of 10 from my new album “Geographics”. It’s called “Looking For The Light Behind Me” - It’s sort of an existential rearview look-back with a daughter/side-quest twist. Please pre order the album to keep me alive. ❤️💜💓🙏 graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

2 songs from my new album Geographics are out now! You can hear them at graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra... and preorder the digital, super hip COMPACT DISC or vinyl version. Your support means everything for a single dad independent music making dude. Song 3 is out tomorrow!! Thanks for hangin’ 💜❤️💙

Pals. Here’s a video clip for my new song “Lake Head” from my album “Geographics” that’s rolling out on Bandcamp every Monday and Friday til the end of Feb. It’s heady and heavy. I hope it finds you well. Please preorder the album (or get a sticker) at graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra... ❤️✨🙏🤌🎸⚡️💜💙

💙💜🙏⚡️✨🎸🎇🤌 Heart full. Your support means everything. Preorder at graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

YOU ROCK ROSS!!!! 💙

Thank you for the kind words about the first song on the record. It means more than you can ever know. 😭 I’ve seen the clicks and listens and I’m floored. But please PLEASE also pre order the digital, cd or vinyl version, as that’s how I stay alive. 💜🙏 graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

Listen to this good shit

Buds. The first song from my new album is available today for listening on Bandcamp. It’s called “Specific Northwest” and it has a real travel vibe and story. As an indie music maker, your support = life so please pre order the digital, cd or vinyl. 💜💙❤️ graven.bandcamp.com/album/geogra...

Tomorrow. The first song from my new album will be on Bandcamp. There’s a part of me that says “what’s the point” when it comes to putting out art with the visceral hell that is happening all around us. But there’s another part of me that says “art opens minds” and so I choose that one. Stay tuned.

Album doc is premiering live Right now! youtu.be/Jtt2Ef_OBag?...

Maybe Greenland could invade us instead?

Howdy easy breezy Blueskiers. If we are pals, I hope this note reaches you. My new album “Geographics” will start releasing all 10 songs on Bandcamp on Jan 26 til Feb 27. My friends Melissa Payne and Charles Austin played all over it. You’ll be able to pre order vinyl/cds too. I hope you love it. 💕

Winter Thoughts 🐕🌲 First song of my new album arrives Jan 26. I can’t wait for you to hear these songs. ❤️

While making this new album out in Halifax with my pals back in October, I kept the camera running in fits and starts and made a little mini documentary called “The Genesis of Geographics” and my friend RJ helped me piece it together. Here’s a teaser. 💜 youtu.be/CSUenL0wdek?...

And two days ago regardless of the heat my light pink dahlias burst into bloom. I swear it’s the humidity that cussed it. They are such beautiful flowers.

If you don’t agree and you’re not on the right side of history, please - and with all due respect and kindness and love - click that unfollow button and joyously get the fuck out of my life. This is no longer a time for acceptance. It’s a time to state where you stand. ❤️💙💜

Hi Ross! (Ross is the only person on Bluesky who sees or interacts with my posts) ❤️

BREAKING: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, just now: "I stand here today with my head held high, and I will continue to fight and stand firm.”

I’m so proud of the talented Leo High School Choir and all they are doing to represent the South Side of Chicago!

Positive messages get through.

G'morning, folks. How are you now? I'm so glad that you're here to brighten my day. I hope you have a great one. Be awesome!

I mean. It's just. "Quiet, piggy." How. How does. The president. Of the United States of America.

Quiet, piggy. Quiet. Piggy.

Hi Bluesky

Seems like a lot of people on here are into #BB27

Post something soothing.

can yous imagine biting into a chocolate brownie and there are walnuts in it?

Some Lovin' Spoonful music for your Sunday RS youtu.be/rgjs7ypeBwg?...

#Caturday is a good day to entertain your cat…I mean, just let him go HAM in a paper fort or something, he’ll appreciate it.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

Day 3 post top-surgery. I got dressed and (slowly) walked to the coffee shop this afternoon. A short trip out of the house to get some sunshine. On the way, I told Dani this is the most comfortable I’ve ever felt in my body.

Was rad to have @strombo on my 100th episode of the #graventownpodcast - download it anywhere you do your podding. Here’s a snippet of our convo where he dug back to childhood days and how he never worried (even then) about fitting in. Have a listen: podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/g...
